This was a phenomenal read. The hold this series has on me. The was definitely "middle of a trilogy" and was far more character driven than plot driven like the first book.
Fallon's development slightly regressed in the start of this one, but I also don't blame her for going back to acting like such a child. What she thought she knew about the world, it's people, and herself turned out to be a lie and it was definitely hard for her to come to terms with. I just wish she was more patient and kind to Lore, but lord is she stubborn as hell.
Her friends kind of irked me in this one. I get why they acted the way they did, but also they'd get mad at Fallon's bad decisions but then not explain anything to her and kept her in the dark about what they were up to.
This was a rollercoaster of emotions - Fallon grows into someone willing to stand up for herself and the people she cares about. I'm so excited to see where the next book takes her story.
I need the next one like... now!
