Definitely a step up from the previous book. I'm glad the love triangle is done with. It was interesting seeing how these characters grew in the time between both stories, though I feel like Kara lost some of her badassness from it. I like that we got more into the scifi side of things with this book, though maybe I read too fast or something but some of the reasoning behind the aliens actions didn't make sense to me. There is one character, who will not be named cause spoilers ;), that I will miss from the third book though; they added so much flair to the story.
