This book really picked up the last 100 pages and the reveals and really took me by surprise! But because of those reveals I now still ha hope for our Kiva and Jarren.

I really enjoyed being surprised by what unfolded but also the character building and the relationships between the characters as well.

Only thing I didn't care for was how long it took Kiva to choose a side. And also, the reasons for overthrowing the Vallentis family always never seemed to warrant the drastic steps she went to. It took too long for her to pick her chosen family when her birth family never came for her. That her real family was terrible wad never a secret to anyone but her own denial.

The plot was not as good in this book and as someone who has attempted to read the third it’s not worth it. The FMC just gets stupid and stupid and I hate it.

I finished this book screamig inside. This book cost me so much of my patience. It also made me cry. How can people do such terrible things? Luckily it's only fictional.
I liked the plot but the Kiva in the second book is not the same Kiva as the girl that survived Zalindov for 10 years. How can someone like her be so naive and oblivious?! In the second half of the book I was just constantly annoyed at how she didn't understand anything and acted so stupidly, I was basially screaming in my head non-stop.

Loved the cliff hanger, the book generally didn't leave any surprises because it was so predictable but I definitely didn't see the end coming. I also loved Kiva's grandma, what a badass.

I generally liked the storyline but tbh I was just waiting for Kiva to make her choice because I didn't like how she was accepted in the royal family and still betraying them, spying on them and telling all the wrong things to her sister. Bithc, Kiva thought so well of Zuleeka even though she was mean as heck *all the time*. Also, oh my goodness, the ending was terrible. Not in a way that I didn't like it, but just terrible for Kiva. How could your own sister betray you like this? Also, her knowing that Kiva could have been released from Zalindov right from the beginning and not doing anything about it is horrible, the thought actually made me cry. Also, Kiva should have healed the king, just my personal opinion.
