I didn't think this book could be as good as the last one and it wasn't but I still really enjoyed it. 

This book changes the focus to follow Carmen instead of Dani which because of the way the last book ended I wasn't too keen on but I got used to it eventually. I like that we get to see the relationships that Carmen developed and also the way she felt about Dani. I'm kind of upset that this didn't have the same political stuff as the first one, I really enjoyed the sneaking around and trying to figure out certain things and this one was a lot more action. 

I also didn't like that a few of the big twists at the end were really predictable and not in a satisfying way. I hoped that some things would come out of nowhere or there would be a massive curveball but nothing hit the way that some of the twists did in the first book. 

I think overall this was an okay conclusion to the duology but because I loved the first one so much, with the change in story style and perspective, inevitably, I was never going to like the second one as much.
