This story is a change from book 1 but some of the same kinds of things keep happening... And the ending mirrors the first book which just had me rolling my eyes. 
We started out with Calli receiving several tasks and really not accomplishing any of them by the end of this book. Seriously, the girl keeps dropping the ball AND living in denial of her and Emerson being mates. I rolled my eyes so much my head hurts. 
This story had all the right bits to be good, but we needed about 100 more pages to sort it out. We get to the end and

the prince once again monologues and puts all the pieces together FOR Calli, who really didn't have any idea what the heck was happening because she wasn't really working on any of this

. Also what the frick happened to the tiny book? 
I'm still debating continuing this story with the next book. Like I want a happy ending for her eventually, but this just feels like the Tumblr con where everyone expected great things and all we got was an inflatable ball pit.
