I was so disappointed in this book. Reign & Ruin was a 5 star read for me. This one fell far below the bar that was set. I missed the beautiful attention to detail, the deep and meaningful thoughts and motives of the characters. This book seemed like the thought just wasn't pushed in to it; I didn't enjoy the characters at all or understand their connection. It was all forced and flat. I'm really hoping the third book in the series will be more like the first, as I'm invested in the story line and the world, but if it's closer to that of book two then I shall not continue the series.
