This was good! I found myself we times, slightly bored with this, but it had a great premise and good execution. Jude and Cardan’s relationship seemed to be more stable, and the plot was better than in the first book. The story flowed quite nicely, and the ending was enough of a hook to make me want to read The Queen of Nothing. Jude was a more tolerable character in this, but I just found this to be boring at times, or I would just zone out from it.
