Loved the performance by Vera Chok! She absolutely nailed it!
Great book, loved it, I thought was a very good sequel.
After how the fire book ended I had no idea where this book would be going. I mean Joancreated a whole new timeline where Nick wasn't the hero, they hadn't met, her family was alive, Aaron didn't know her, and no one else seemed to remember. Or at least they didn't remember everything like she did, Jamie remembers enough and the Lius do too.
I loved that this book went further into how time travel worked in this world and the morality of how monster travel affects Joan throughout the book.
So glad that this book showed even more of the monster world and a bit more of the politics of it as well. I would've loved to have seen more of the Hunts though, like Joan's gran, after all that she went through in the first book to bring them back.
Also... I'm team Aaron. I like Nick, he's a nice guy. But that's kinda it. I feel like the author wants us to like him and root for him and Joan, but I just find them kinda boring. Whereas Joan and Aaron I find so much more fun!I feel like Aaron must have had a part in Joan's life in the 'true timeline' because Eleanor kept mentioning him. So I think that he's going to have a bigger role to play than he has so far. (This is a major spoiler for the end of the book.) Also, what Nick did by killing the King to save Joan I think changed how she viewed him. She mentions throughout the book that Nick always does what's right, so I think it really shocked her when he killed the king.
I'm really excited to see what the next book will be like. Especially as I think it's the last one.
Each book so far has had a different timeline; book 1 = the king's timeline, book 2 = Joan's timeline, and then book 3 will have Eleanor's twisted timeline. I can't wait to see what that world is going to be like. I'm slightly scared that one of the main character's is going to die in the last book. Or they become erased from the timeline.
I'm really hoping that there'll be a happy ending. Or at least one that is a bit bittersweet if not completely happy.
