this book did sell me on the series. I didn't really enjoy tamlin - didn't see the appeal so much or why their love happened so quickly (minus he kidnapped her and she knew no one and he was rich). I like rhysand much more and was glad he got a bigger role in this book. some of it was predictable and some of it was surprising. I enjoyed this more than the first. I appreciated the additional backstories we got here and the new characters that were introduced. slow burn was nice - I love a good flirtatious note! spice was nice.
