This book continues to expand on Roman's character development a lot, more than anything else. Bryn spent most of her time in this book in the dream world, struggling to find her role in freeing others from the shadows. Stakes are a lot higher with children around the world dying and falling into strange coma like states. The rules of the paranormal aren't explained super well, but I don't mind that as much as a lot of other people do. I really enjoyed how Roman's story is being developed. Seeing him regress sometimes, make mistakes, and have to struggle to make morally questionable decisions allowed me to see the character as realistic and human. I really appreciate flawed characters because I think a lot of young adult novels are overflooded with "too perfect" male leads. Roman has likeable characteristics and had his own redemption arc to get through that is relatable. I'm not sure what the author is planning to do with Bryn's situation at the moment considering the book's shocking end. I am looking forward to seeing more of Felix and Dani. We haven't really seen a lot of them together, and I'm curious to know if they will actually end up being a couple. I'm looking forward to the end of this series. Let us hope I am not dissapointed.
