This is my second time reading this book and it was just as good if not better than it was on the first read through. I loved the characters just as much as before especially Alosa and Riden I liked their dynamic it made for an interesting slower burn romance that I hope get more of it in the last book. I always like the kind of female characters this author writes they are strong with many other great qualities. I found Alosa to be a very interesting and well written I really like fierce and independent female characters who know exactly what they want and will do anything to get it. I also like how vulnerable Alosa can be she is not just that take charge character she has so much more to her. I really loved the plot I liked the getting kidnapped to find a map to find a treasure I liked all that happened in between that as well. So overall this book was just as good if not better reading it the second time.
