PERFECT! Hands down the best series that I read so far!
I was mad at the start because of Erik's appearance and Ailsa believing him over Vali - that irked me a little. But when she lost her memories, Ailsa questioned Erik every single second and I loved it! Ailsa continued to be brave, resilient, and strong throughout - and the spark never left. Vali was even more lovable in this book - his passion has no boundaries and I couldn't get enough of it. Together, without a shadow of a doubt - PERFECT! The plot twists were breathtaking and just like the first book, it wasn't predictable. I was left at the edge of my seat every moment. Another element that made this book incredible was the multiple POVs - whose voices were individual and personality - it was easy to differentiate the voices. The adventure, the fight scenes, the romantic moments - those were the highlights! The ending wrapped the story and the characters well and wasn't rushed. 
I recommend this duology!!!
