+ satisfied with the plots and subplots, and their progress
•really like Tory, wish Darcy had a bit more personality? But she has progressed from the first novel so hopefully that continues 
+ I enjoy the multiple POVs

It is very poorly edited. There are too many elements to a plot that isn't easily identifiable. Major content warning.

I hate myself for loving this, but while the first one was a bit dubious and questionable, this one was very focused on revenge and I absolutely loved it. Plus I loved that we got some perspective in the guys’ minds, which I suppose strung a little bit of empathy for them.

I definitely liked this more than the first book, but I gave it the same rating cuz I just couldn't bring myself to give it four stars. I took a break from reading it about halfway through to focus on my book club books, but man that last third really goes by in a whirlwind. It's nice to see the twins finally developing their own personalities and discover themselves as Fae, but it's equally as nice to see the Heirs get a taste of their own medicine. Looking forward to the next one!
