I want to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this ebook for review. These are my own thoughts and opinions and receiving a copy for free has not influenced them.


I really enjoy Amanda Hocking. This is my third series that I’ve read by her. Her books are something you want to pick up if you want an easy read into a great world for a few hours. This world is no different. The covers alone will make you pick this up and check it out. They are beautiful. Now onto the good stuff…

Bryn is an independent outcast in a way. She’s got a different look and is constantly being reminded of that. It’s one of the reasons that she’s such an awesome character. She’s constantly trying to prove everyone wrong and working so hard. At the same time, she has a romance that is blooming. I really enjoy most of the characters. I can't wait to see how things play out with Ridley


This book we get to learn more about her Skojare heritage but at the same time there’s a million more questions. It is one of the reasons for the 3 stars. I do like that we got more about her heritage and we get a bigger picture of the Skojare. I feel like I have more questions than answers in this book. I’m hopeful that the next book will answer them but I would have liked more clarity from the second book. The pace is a big slow and the plot doesn’t develop as much as I would have liked. I feel like there’s so many times that Konstantin Black is mentioned and we don’t even see him in this book.


I feel like this book was a little too much of a filler book. I would have liked more of an adventure in this one. The last 30 pages or so really picked up and there are some twists but it took that long to get me really interested. Maybe I had too high of expectations after the first book. It just fell short. I will still be reading the third book because I love Amanda’s world. I just hope it has more answers and more of a meatier plot! Not a bad book overall, just fell short of what I expect from a sequel/second book!
