Any issue I had with the first book didn’t happen with this one. I found Corrick and Tessa’s POVs each to be enjoyable and I loved the new third POV. I thought I knew where this book was going to go and I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong. My biggest gripe is that it ends on a cliffhanger and it’s still awhile until the third book!

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%.
