I'm a bit torn on how to properly rate this book. 

I struggled through the first half of this book—the pacing was slow, especially with the different perspective shifts, and I felt like there wasn't a lot going on. My feedback on book 1 (The Aspect of Essence) was wishing there had been a more major cliffhanger, and I think that was partially my issue—we didn't pick up on a high note. 

THEN the second half of the book hit, which is where my higher rating comes from. The pacing was so much faster with the new setting, characters, love interest, spice, and action. I'm also SO happy that this book has a stronger cliffhanger than book 1. I'll definitely be continuing this series due to the second half of this book!
