This series filled my need to read a 2010’s teen fantasy. 
The plot definitely deepened in this book and although I enjoyed the story, I wish there was more explanation and example of the magic in this world. 
Kaden had the most character growth throughout and I am so glad for that! 
Probably won’t reread but it was fun! The prose is well-done, especially considering this book’s target audience!
