I'm going to admit, the only reason I read this book is because I saw a spoiler for the next book on Instagram and I was curious. I needed to know how it worked! Though we don't get a lot of explanation there at the end, so I guess I'm going to have to read the next book, too.

My issue with this book is that, for me, it felt like the plot was all over the place. However, I'm not sure if that's becuase I don't remember what happened in the first book at all, or because the plot is actually all over the place. I'm still not actually sure what Bryce and crew were exactly fighting for, but it seemed important by the end.

This book is par for the SJM course in that it seemed spicier than the first book in the series. I'm expecting the next book to continue in that trend, honestly. If you enjoy fantasy romance (or "romantasy"), SJM is definitely one of the most popular. Also can be great if you're looking for a sort of introduction to the fantasy genre.
