I like the premise of the world and the plot is generally entertaining but the writing is pretty ordinary and the pacing is a bit off.

A little easier to jump into than book #1. Ends in a cliffhanger.

I absolutely loved the first book in this series, and I was excited to discover this next one.
Irene is as great as she was in the first volume, smart but not too much to become unrealistic. I wish we'd seen more of Kai - mostly because he's my favourite, but also because his relationship with Irene makes the book that much more interesting. While Vale brings another dimension in the interactions and Silver is a cool antagonist, it just wasn't the same without Kai for most of the book. I also wish we'd seen more of what happened to him after he was kidnapped. He was basically left out of the book for 3/4 of it. And even when he came back, he was passed out or too beaten up to act much.
I'm looking forward to the next instalment, although I'll probably keep reading them once in a while instead of going quickly through the whole series.
