The first book is mid, but this? This I couldn't put down.
The purple prose is improved and the characterisation is much, much better. I will note that Tamlin's character shift felt a little out of left field, but in a really enjoyable way. A lot of things I complained about with the first book was addressed in this one, and yeah some of the magic is a little goofy, but for me that is part of the fun.
One thing I will complain about is it's a wee bit Twilight-y with all that mate business, and the twist with Elain and Nesta felt too convenient for me, not to mention the stuff with Lucien and Elain.
Excuse me while I devour the third installment.
