Reading language: Greek 

You must be strong enough to hit many times without tiring. The first lesson is to become so strong. 

A good continuation of the first book, although not as exciting as that one. The plot felt to be moving slower than the in the first one, and there wasn't much to see, apart from Jude's fascinating and complicated relationship with Cardan and her family. Very good plot twists and certainly awaiting to read the finale.

I'm so glad I decided to stick with the series, this book was totally worth it! The 'enemies to lovers' trope is done well for once, because can you call someone your enemy without them having tried to kill you? The plot twists, the betrayals!! *chef's kiss*
