The plot twists are so good, but I found Bryce and Hunt annoying and uncomfortable at times. Ruhn, Ithan, and Hypaxia were more interesting and I found their plot lines more engaging than the main two.

SJM really just finished this book and said “drop the mic.”

I audibly gasped when I got to the ending. And let me just say, if anything happens to Ruhn and Hunt… I will riot.

The emotional roller coaster that was this book, my head is still reeling.

“I love you. I wish I’d said it more. But I love you Quinlan, and…” His throat closed up, his eyes stinging. His lips brushed her brow. “Our love is stronger than time, greater than any distance. Our love spans across stars and worlds. I will find you again, I promise.”

Talk about a downer ending; why does virtually everyone end up enslaved or otherwise trapped by circumstance? Plus a cliffhanger that only really works if you like another book by the author (which I have never read). More embarrassing sex, but less toe curling as the book went on.

I really enjoyed the first book. This one not so much - and unfortunately that is mostly down to the ending. It doesn't make me want to read more - it makes me want to read less.
