anwade88 's review for:

3.0

I enjoyed this one but didn’t love it like the first. I think the biggest issue for me is this book lost a lot of tension from about 30% until 70%. 

I felt like anna and Kherian spent too much time on running away and didn’t have enough agency in this book.

Even the threat of him no longer being able to find her—which could have been devastating and exciting—was barely used.


I was worried the time period being shorter might make it dull, but that wasn’t the case. I enjoyed traveling to some new locations in this one.

I think it was just too easy for Khiran and Anna. They spent the entire book fleeing conflict. I would have liked to see them choose to fight at the midpoint and start having a lot more agency instead of being forced to act.


I did love Jiro and his relationship with Anna (and his tension with Khiran.)

And I still loved Silas. I hope he and Cassius get a peach too and live HEA.
