I think the plot has improved from the first book. There was some character development. The bonds between characters have developed as well. I found this book to be more gripping and intense, and it kept me engaged. 

My main hang up is the developing relationship between Rose and Dimitri.

Not as good as the first, but still made me cry/scream/etc. Honestly, my least favorite part was the reiterating of the lore. like. we obviously read the first book, you don’t need to give us a refresher course. just put in a glossary and call it a day.

Action Packed

So much goes down in this book that there’s almost no break. You get to meet quite a few new people including another spirit user! Be prepared to cry by then end though.

This rating is reflective of how much I enjoyed this book when I originally read it, however I recognize a lot of the issues this book has now, and probably wouldn't rate it as highly anymore, despite really enjoying all rereads.
