5.0

I think this series is growing on me - I enjoyed book two more than book one. Maybe it was partly being more familiar with the three types of vampires, maybe it was that some of the world building was out of the way and the plot could just go. 
Now to be clear I’m giving this five stars but it’s not like a new favorite book of all time that I’m planning to fan girl and reread … but it was solidly enjoyable.

3.0

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.
