“But Evangeline knew that her heart longed to hope for the best. She believed that people could change; she believed that everyone’s life was like a story with an ending that was not yet written, and therefore everyone’s future held infinite possibilities”. Honestly cannot think of a review to write. I enjoyed reading the book but did find myself mad at the ending. Even so, I am stuck with thoughts of wondering what the hell will happen so I must read the next book. I will say that I wished this was a dual point of view book. I would love to hear Jacks thoughts. It would add so much flare to the story.

I enjoyed this book better than the first! The story becomes more compelling and the magic/world feels is reminiscent of the enchantments of Harry Potter

Better than the first book. I now understand that the first one was setting the tone and this went on to the major dilemma. It was hard for me to start but after a few chapters it got good. (I read along with audiobook.)

SPOILER**

It seems as the 3rd book is how the author will get rid of Apollo. A bit sad for me because I was torn between Jacks and Apollo, but now it shifted.
