This was a very enjoyable follow up book to The Last Dance. I was very glad I had read The Last Dance first, because if I had jumped straight into reading this I would not have had the understanding of Rosalia Morais and Nick Aames' characters and back story, both of which are very important to know who they are now. I wasn't keen on the first person narrative from Rosalie's POV, not because I don't like her but because I couldn't feel her and therefore think it would have been better told in third person. The plot was very good. I love the politics and Rosalia's character arc and, although everything tied together well at the end, there is plenty of scope for the continuation of the series. I really like the writing style, and even though there were technical terms I am not familiar with, they were used in a context where I could at least grasp what I needed to know.
I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!
