Great book. I was disappointed to find the second book didn’t follow the same characters as the first book. I loved Piper, Amnity, and Marcus together and their story. The story moved along well despite a lot of the action bone packed in the last hundred pages; sometimes I feel the story can get lost. I really am not thrilled with how much was left unanswered in the book knowing the next book in the series will, just like this one, follow different characters. What’s the kings secret? Why does Marcuses sister adore him so? Why is Lydia tracking down Piper? How did Elias get in contact with Lydia? What the heck was Elias’s warning about? There’s just too much unanswered. In this book, and the previous book. I felt like referencing to the first book happened A LOT and was not necessary. I understand we’re in the same world. I see the map on the first page…. </spoilers> In hopes the author answers some questions in the next book, this book gets 4 stars. If we don’t get answers, I think I will have to lower my rating.
