I could nitpick this series quite a bit. I actually did in my review of the first book. But honestly, I don't care to. Sure it has its problems, but the book is so much fun that I don't. I'm just along for the ride, enjoying the story as it goes. If you want my more in depth thoughts on some of the flaws, check out my review of the first book because I don't care to repeat myself on a bunch of negativity when it doesn't bother me that much.

There were two negative story points for me in this book. I'm not a huge fan of where Katharine's character has gone. It doesn't seem well explained (I know there are more books to go, but in this book I did want more from that; it felt lacking) and just in general, I don't understand what it means for Katharine the person. I think it could be handled well, but so far it hasn't been and just in general, I'm not a fan of that concept.

My second issue was the ending. Had this been the last of the series, the ending would have made me knock off stars. I didn't because there's still more to go, but I have no interest in where the story is going after that ending. Unless it just skips the last thirty pages, I don't think I'm going to be a big fan of book three.

My biggest concern for this series is that it's not going to get dark enough. I need that from this book (I understand not everyone does) and from the way things have unfolded so far, that does worry me quite a bit. When the stakes are as high as they are in this world, it only makes sense for there to be huge consequences.

But issues aside, I have the hardest time predicting this series. I didn't call the plot twist in book one and I didn't guess a lot of the twist and turns in this book. That makes it fun for me. I didn't necessarily enjoy every plot twist, but I had a fun time exploring them. I also still just really enjoy the premise and the world that's been created. It's so cool and fun.

Fun is the word I keep coming back to for this series. All issues aside, I have such a fun time reading these books and they go by so fast. I am excited to continue on to the second half the series.
