1.0

The ending of the first book really had me excited for a good second....and that all fell flat. Any good part of the first book that had me excited for the second book was depressing and frustrating in the second. The characters got worse, more annoying, more dreary.

First of all why do I need to recap a book in a series? I literally could have picked up this book and started out just fine without even touching the first one. It was frustrating to have completed the first book, start the second and get a full recap of it in the next book. I understand there are times where you need to explain some references, but not to the extent that it did!

Here's some questions that still don't make sense to me!!

How in the world would Rustan be fine leaving and going on this solitary mission???

How could Kyra ever be in charge of the clan...she's barely made it to Markswoman and now she's a leader?? The elders all just jumped behind Tamsyn and now they really do think the Kyra should be in charge? Everyone is fine with all of this? Did not make sense on any level!

How are the guns having their own minds plausible? And how was she walking though doors to a lilac sky and all able to make any sense? The ending....ugh. I really don't even know what to say about the disappointment of this book. I feel robbed of my time and energy. This was a frustrating book on so many levels.
