I give her credit in that this book was not all that much like the first even if both are classics of the romantasy genre. A much more interesting cast of secondary characters. The villains are so very evil, almost like caricatures.

This book was even more riveting than the first! Morgan and Draven are in a new setting with new challenges and new faces. The banter is still wonderful and feelings begin to emerge as the slow burn comes to fruition. My heart is still shattered over certain events at the end of Queen of Roses, and we see Morgan wrestle with the feelings of grief and guilt associated with that.

My favorite of the new faces, I believe is Odessa. She’s fierce and loyal, trusting Draven every step of the way. She’s a fighter and just… amazing.

It was just absolutely incredible and I’m so sad I’ve finished it so quickly. I wasn’t able to put it down. Come on November!!!!
