I liked this more than the first book because a) the MC had a much more complex character development/arc/intricacies and b) the overall world plot was much more interesting, though the big plot twist was a bit obvious

I’ll admit, I was a little disappointed when I realized this book was from Rua’s POV and not more about Remy/Hale and the rest of the original characters. I suppose this was because I found Rua to be intolerable for the first 55% of the book. I wish there had been more of a transition from miserable to confident and happy for her. That being said, I am looking forward to the third book!
