I lived the first boom and was excited for this one. However I was slightly disappointed. I love this world and the magic system and found it interesting and unique. In this book my biggest issues is the back and forth from Freya and Bjorn on whether they are in live or not. It felt very juvenile and went on for nearly half the book.  I got to page 167 and was going “we are still on this, really”. And then it felt like there was a sudden switch up and they are back to madly in love. 

I enjoyed the big mystery reveal and the action that was caused by this. I really think this only made up about 1/3 of the book and could have been a little more of a focus then the back and forth between Freya and Bjorn. 

Great wrap up for the duology otherwise.
