This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
After reading Ruined (and being tortured by the cliffhanger), I doubted that book two could live up to the amazingness of that first book. I was so happy to be wrong. If anything, things get even more complicated in this installment as Em is torn between her love for her sister, her loyalty to the Ruined, and her love for Cas. Once again, Tintera doesn't pull any punches. Nothing is easy or black and white. It's sometimes hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys, and danger lurks around every turn. Em spends most of the book simply trying to avoid an all-out war (without retreating or surrendering, of course). I loved every minute of this follow-up, so it gets 5/5 Stars. And the series makes it onto my list of All-Time Favorites!

Not great, not bad either. I don't regret spending my time reading it, but I also wouldn't recommend it to anyone else

THANKS FOR THE BUDDY READ ANDREA
And OMG, I'm still in love with this series. Olivia still scares me shitless. I love Em's friendship with Aren. I will forever ship Em with Cas. I'm still secretly plotting Olivia and August's death for the next book and I also pray that it happens. I won't apologize either.
Okay, so the chemistry between Em and Cas is beyond amazing! I love them so freaking much. I feel bad for her because of how bloodthirsty Olivia is throughout the book because she's batshit crazy. Then there's Aren and I absolutely loved him with Iria. Again, I loved so many people in this book and still hated the same people too, like: Olivia, August, and Jovita.
FUCKING JOVITA - she ruins so much shit in this book. I don't even want to talk about that conniving bitch right now. Her and Olivia would probably be really good friends because of their psychotic abilities and shit.. but in this book they are enemies.
Overall, I still loved this book and the point of views. I loved getting to know more about certain characters and loving them more. I also really liked hating the same characters too. Waiting for the next book to show up in my hands because I just want so many things to happen in that book. I need a happy ending for my ship, I really need it to sail guys, and I also really want certain people to die. I WANT SO MUCH!
________________________________________________________
I'm 100% shook people.
I can't accept that type of ending.
I can't accept that amy is freaking breaking my heart by not letting my ships be together.
Get ready for a shit ton of spoilers people:
Then there are the crazy people who I hated: Olivia, Jovita, and August.
Olivia is super annoying throughout this book and basically just wants to kill everyone. She goes bat shit crazy is so many situations and it kind of scared me. Then there's Jovita who I just hate so fucking much. I just wanted her to die. Oh, and let's not forget August - WHO IS CREEPY AS FUCK. God, I hated him so fucking much and I'm not even sad that he died. He deserved it.
I practically consumed this book within an hour and I'm not regretting it all. I will most definitely reread this series again. I seriously can't wait for the next book - I need it now. I need my ships to be together. I need people to die. I need a lot more.
And now I feel like I'm in a book coma or having a book hangover because I have no idea how I will recuperate from this book.

Okay, so I'm pretty sure Avenged fucking ruined me people. Like why did I get glimpses of beautiful relationships and loves and then have it not happen officially. WHY?!? I wanted and needed Cas and Em to be together forever and ever. HELL even they wanted it for each other but no.. it didn't happen. I want them to be together in the next book - please don't torture me. Speaking of couples, I also really want Aren and Iria together. Make it happen.Then there are the crazy people who I hated: Olivia, Jovita, and August.

This was a great sequel, with the most precious couples, I loved all the characters in this, I loved hating on Olivia and Jovita they were horrible murderous women and they make great villains. I can't wait to see how this concludes in Allied
