I really wanted to like this book because the previous one left off on such a massive cliff hanger. I read so many reviews saying this book was even better than the first. That, however, was not my take. I do think there was far more action and danger than the first book, that I enjoyed. 

I didn't enjoy
how it was ended. Honestly, I think the author took a cop out. I don't honestly see how the kingdom can accept Lara as even a citizen, let alone Queen after everything that happened. The superstition introduced in the very last few pages should have been introduced so much sooner, I feel, to really have an impact. I think the redemption would have been better if she had died killing her father.
 

The action was great, the ending I did not enjoy.
