i enjoyed this book much much more than the first. the writing is still a little cringy at times, and i’m still having a little trouble with the bully romance aspect of it, but i was hooked during the whole book. 
i really enjoyed the different perspectives throughout that give you a peek into the guys’ minds. i also really really love orion and darcy. 
the one thing i enjoyed the most, that was really lacking from the first book, was twins finally coming into their own and standing up for themselves. it made this book 10x better

It was better than the first but not by much. I was going to give it a 1.75 but gave it +0.25 for the multiple POVs. The writing seemed less annoying and juvenile but maybe because now I expected it. The twins are still extremely annoying and kinda stupid in their decisions but Darius and Max are making up for it.

Im glad this one had a bit of everyone’s POV.
I was happy that Caleb and Tory happened. I hope they continue but im guessing something will pop up and halt them. I thought some of  Tory and Darcy’s actions were annoying. Them with the throne thing - it just felt too soon and out of no where and then then with the pegasus thing - i get getting back at him, but they kept going at him and i dont think he deserved that much repeated harassment.
Overall I enjoyed, im going to read the prequel before continuing because i think itll be important before this next book.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, but I enjoyed this one so much more!
I found the characters much more loveable, I found the sexy scenes more relatable and the tense scenes had me on the edge of my seat.
I devoured it in two days, I could barely go about my usual daily activities without debating my theories or plotting what might happen next!
A series that finally levels the excitement I had for ACOTAR!!
I absolutely adore Lance Orion with Darcy but I find myself unable to commit to their relationship after the scene about fated mates and how if they don’t go right, shit goes sideways and with the twins facing shit 24/7, she is obviously doomed to a troubled future in that relationship, though I really hope they succeed…
I prefer Tory with Caleb; who I am greatly warming up to. Though alike my feeling with ‘Dorian’, I have a feeling she won’t work out with either him or Darius.

I’m just hoping things start to level out for them now, that they eventually end up on the throne with their orders revealed (which I’m dying to find out)!!!

This sequel was definitely more character  based than plot based and gave us a lot more insight into the characters - especially the Heirs. 
I know that I shouldn’t love Caleb and Darius but their development is so complex that I just can’t help it. Also the Darius and Orion subplot has significantly changed my feelings towards Orion. He’s still a yikes but I can see past that now and give him more of a chance.
I absolutely love that we saw perspectives beyond Tory and Darcy and I really hope that continues in the rest of the series!
I also fully stan Tory’s active acknowledgment in her risky choice of men and the way she just lives her life anyway. We love to see it!
This series has such a grip on me and I literally cannot stop reading.
There wasn’t as much action in this one but the ending was such a WILD ride!
