At this point in the book (around the 150 mark) there is no difference in the tone, or distinction between how Adrian or Isolde talk or their thoughts. 

In my review for the first book, I wanted more of Adrian's point of view. There have been a couple of chapters but again no distinction between his thought and tone and Isoldes. 
Adrian and Isoldes fights are only a short period before the start having sex. I really don't want to say it but it is just toxic. I believe that is how their relationship is supposed to come off. I would like to see more of just the fighting and make up sex after. 

I wish the fighting scenes and the magic teaching were longer. I would like more explanation and history on the magic in this realm.

I do not understand Isoldes transition into an aufhocker. I do not see this as being necessary  in the story.... I do not see the point in this change. 

My only thing I want in the third book is for more of Adrian's point of view and for his voice to be heard and not get drowned out by the same vocabulary Isolde uses.
