I got exactly what I asked for in book 2, and I am over the moon! There was so much more action in this one! A little more political intrigue and a little less romance if I'm being honest. I'm not upset. Overall, I think it was a good trade in order to get more of a plot to follow, and boy, we're we ever given a plot! 

I will always love a trial based book. It is one of my favorite things, and I'm so drawn toward any storyline that has one, so this one absolutely delivered. Cole is so badass, and while I think his romance and mating with Lexi is kinda lackluster and a little bit boring, Cole's character is awesome, and I love him. I also love Lexi. She herself is a little bland, but she has these quirks that I'm finding myself drawn to. 

I love seeing more of the brothers, and I love the enchanted castle that's got this thing going on with Lexi. This book was so fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! 

Also. THAT. END. Can't wait for the next one!
