Very fun read. Has the same issue of telling more than it shows that her other books have. Also has the same rushed and disjointed ending as they all do as well. 

The fight scenes are either really, really good, or painfully bad with no real in between. I also have to remind myself that in Levenseller books that when I get that “oh no, this is way to easy! Something must be about to go wrong” I need to ignore it. It ends up working every time. 

The love story progresses WAY more naturally than in the first book (not that it was a high bar)

Riden’s brother remains a superfluous character that did absolutely nothing for the story. I would have suggested writing him out all together.

The dialogue sure was…something, and that I’ll I have to say about that. 

A fun read. Glad I finished it!
