This book moves slower than the first one which was hard to keep my focus at times. However, the story does pick up around 60% and i started to become more engaged with it. I am looking forward to continuing the series and I'm looking forward to starting the third book.

We pick up the storylines right where we ended in Book 1, and it’s a mad dash from there. So many choices to be made and tragedies to endure, questions answered and more questions needing answers. Each are put in seemingly impossible situations that have them evaluating what truly matters. Life and Death are always in the balance, and we see a lot of loss sprinkled with hope in this second installment of the series. I love that some twists were predictable (excellent clues all throughout) and that some were so startling as to keep me on my toes as a reader. Very excited to see what happens in book 3!
Honestly, a fabulous second book! I didn’t feel like it dragged and found myself at the edge of my seat and gasping all throughout. This series is quickly becoming a top favorite series along with Harry Potter and Throne of Glass.
THINGS CONSIDERED SCORE 98/100
