So I’ll be honest, this was slow going to get into (for me). I don’t think it was actually that it was slow I just took awhile to really get into it. After about 75 pages though I flew through it. As you can see my activity on this book I just jumped fully in after about 20%. 

I like that this book didn’t end in a cliffhanger, but rather allowed for the series to really take on its own path for the next book. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind a good cliffhanger, but I felt this plot line was wrapped up nicely, while still having a lot more story to tell. 

Can’t wait to continue the series and see how some of these MCs and side characters grow!
