So I'm jumping on this wagon late, but I'm here for the ride all the way. Books like these are the ones that make me happy to step outside of my YA/Contemporary/Thriller bubble.

I read the first book and backtracked to this one to learn all the things and it was WORTH IT. I now understand so much more about Darius that wasn't there in Awakening. Plus, I was really confused about which of the four boys was which (Order, Sign, Element, looks, names - it was a lot to process), but the way the history is written in this prequel has it all cleared up. Can't wait to keep reading!
