This book picks up where Incendiary leaves off, with Renata working to free her people, while also battling with all of the memories she is holding in her head.
This book didn't really do it for me. I think it may be hard for me to put into words what bored me. While the first one was full of tropes, but in a good way, this one was full of tropes that just annoyed me. There was definitely some insta-love going on, which is always hard for me to get behind. But my biggest gripe is that I was just bored. The action wasn't exciting enough to keep me interested. The romance was boring. The conclusion was predictable. Maybe I wasn't in the right head space to enjoy this book at this time, but it just wasn't for me.
