I really loved this book, it’s better than the previous one.

⛔️ Spoilers ahead ⛔️

I loved Cameron and Evangeline POVs and enjoyed being in their heads for a change. Mare is good but she can’t pick aside just like Cal, she’s desperate and in love-hate relationship with Maven … yes she hates him but at the same time he’s all she can think about and want his attention and get jealous and want to convince herself she doesn’t care about him all the time.
 
Maven’s back story just broke me, i mean i guessed before his mother did something with his brain but I didn’t imagine it to be that bad, she  converted him into a sociopath and i just hated her more.
and can we talk about how the bath tub scene is THE BEST .. I don’t know why but my heart broke into millions and millions pieces after reading that chapter it was so great i felt every emotion … I’m not ready to read how my mavey baby gonna die 😢😭💔

 If I'm being nice about it I would have to say Mare Barrow  is not the brightest  main character.  She is flawed but knows it and even with  a cool power that makes her different gets captured somehow. 

That said I think I'm  done with this series because  both her and Evangeline are getting railroaded  over. And I don't  care enough  to read War Storm for now to see how everything  ends for them. 

 But I did enjoy the megatrons, and differen new characters who had the same power as Mare.  Not to mention  howsilver Evangelin  mperspective. It made this book more interesting  and brought a lot more complexity  to see the bad peoples side.

This one is soooo much better than the Glass Sword. It is crazy of the development of all the characters. It started off really slow but after that it got a lot better and the different pov’s made the story of all the characters a lot better.
