The second book somehow makes you invested in the story and Cardan and Jude. The tension between them really is a slow burn that still has not come to an end. 

Did not see the plot twist at the end coming, as it came right as my hopes were at their highest.

The writing still does not completely do it for me but I am now too invested in the story to not read the final book.
