This is the second book in the series and we continue to follow Nina on her journey as an assassin for The Council. This book is a bit slower than the first and also integrates more time with the entire family, and is less focused on Nina as an individual. Even her name being maintained throughout the book as Nina rather and Echo highlights some of the character focus.
We get to see a more reflective side of the FMC, as well as her quabbles with the emotional and psychological consequences of her job and the events that occurred at the end of book 1. This book also gives us more insight on the other operatives working under dispatch, and shows us how the organization could be dismantled simply because of one person's feelings of slight or devaluation.
No matter how noble the cause, people will change loyalties if they are not valued and adequately appreciated. I would have liked to see more of the romance that was happening. Even as a secondary plotline, it felt like the reader was mostly told about the emotions /relationship, rather than being able to fully experience its development along with the MCs. Overall, this is a good series and I'll be moving on to the third and f9nal book very soon.
