 I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I have mixed feelings about this book. At one hand, I really loved the concept and the worldbuilding, shifters and the way magic functioned in this book was so interesting, so it made me sad that I simply couldn't get myself into the book. Especially the first half made me feel almost frustrated, because the pacing just wasn't satisfying for me. I liked some of the characters, mainly Morgan and Prideaux, but overall felt that they were not fleshed out enough for me to connect with them. The second half of the book was in my opinion better, but still left me a bit dissapointed. I can't say it was a bad book, because there were definitely parts I liked, but I just wasn't enjoying reading it that much.

 This book was definitely fun, even during the times I wanted to take a spatula, teleport to the book and tell the characters to communicate better... But frustrations aside, I liked it, more than the first book in the series.
