Okay, the speed on which I read this book was scary. I started it on Saturday afternoon and by the end of the day I was almost halfway through. I devoured it. I guess that was due to the fact that this second book is told in three different POV's, whereas the first book is told in Elspeth's POV only, which was great, don't get me wrong, but I love it when a book is told in different POV's, it makes me feel more connected to the other characters and the story.
Anyway, this book was great. I saw coming the plot twists, but I wasn't sure how everything was going to be solved, so that was a great surprise to read.
I already felt a lot of affection towards Elspeth, but my love for Ravyn and Elm grew a lot. I also loved Ione too. She was already a bit present in the first book, but in this second one, she was also a main character.
Seriously, even though this series is only two books long, I feel so attached to the characters and world that it's a bit hard to say goodbye to them.
I'm not completely sure if this is a new favorite series, but at least I enjoyed it so much, and I highly recommend it, too.
If you're looking for smut and lots of romance, this series is not it. Even though there were a couple of hot scenes, they were not very descriptive and they were only neccesary for us the readers to understand the love between the characters. I was looking for a series with a romance subplot and these books delivered it.
