Me encantó este libro! Lo leí rapidísimo porque no podía dejarlo.
Ahora son más puntos de vista, lo que lo hace súper ágil. 
Hay nuevos personajes, interesantes y misteriosos.
Los personajes secundarios del libro anterior tienen más protagonismo. Y los personajes principales siguen siendo de lo mejor. 
AMO A CORRICK, pero fuerte! Jjjajaja. Que personaje que me encanta! 
Las intrigas políticas siguen y todo se va a expandiendo, incluso a países vecinos, así que se está poniendo cada vez más interesante la cosa.
En este libro Brigid me dio todo lo que quería. Sinceramente esto era lo que quería leer: acción, aventura, intrigas políticas, romance. Lo tiene todo y con el estilo de ella.
Lo recomiendo 1000%.
