Loved the way the romance developed in this book compared to the last one. Felt like this book was overall less strong than book 1, but still really enjoyed it. The revelations at the end were so cool!

This is a really great series. I only wish the phrase “Oh Holy One” wasn’t in every other paragraph. That’s my only thumbs down in the series so far. I question whether the almost sex scenes are actually YA appropriate, but I’m not a parent.
