The saga continues
I’m not much for apocalyptic books but the characters are pretty great in this one. Mya is fighting to see her family again through some gruesome retelling of events. Four stars.

This really is an amazing series. I enjoy the pace the story has set.
In this book we find out just what exactly Drav is and I must admit I am shocked because I did not see that coming, although it kind of makes sense. I found the take on Fey was quite interesting.
I am still not sure how they caused the end of the world. I hope that is explained in the last book which I am going to read right away.

So my intention was to start a different book after finishing this but this series got me completely hooked. My reading plans have now been changed because I have to pick up book 3 to see what happens next.
4.5 stars

3.5 stars — While I still had a bit of a mixed reaction to this one, I really can’t deny how compelled I am to devour more and more…
I will say that Ms. Rosenberg’s voice grew on me. It’s amazing sometimes how you can adjust and your opinions can change. Part of that is I still absolutely adore her voice for Drav.
Just like in book 1, I felt like the plot was drawn out, and the pacing wasn’t as great. Our MC’s spent like 1/2 the book running in caves, repeat ad nauseum. I get that they’re trying to show how vast the cave systems are, but it got a bit tiring.
I think I liked Mya even less in this one. She was kind of super bitchy a bunch of times. I was actually embarrassed by her entitled attitude and her complete lack of even trying to understand/empathize with Drav’s people. Her empathy would come at the very last minute, when everything was explained. I actually experienced second hand embarrassment from some of the things she did and ways she reacted. She had quite a few over the top moments.
But in contrast, I loved the development of the relationship between Mya and Drav. I truly believed the development of feelings. I felt so much for Drav, who is drawn to her, and doesn’t understand his feelings, and doesn’t know what to do with them. I appreciated the times where he just didn’t know what he was doing wrong because he doesn’t understand human sensibilities. The chemistry between them was off the charts. I don’t even mind that Drav may not be attracted to her personality as much as the idea of a companion and his attachment to her. She has her good points, but she’s a bit of a bully sometimes. But it works for them because it’s not a normal human relationship. If this was a contemp, I would be super annoyed about what Drav is in love with, and his possessiveness.
All in all, I’m super curious how things are going to progress from here, so of course I started the next book after midnight. *rolls eyes*

I'm not sure what to do with this series. I really like the author and the world she's building. Drav's ppl are interesting and I'm eager to learn more about them BUT Mya is annoying beyond words. I understood in the first book because she was scared. In this one she is just disrespectful, completely selfish and unapologetic for her mistakes. There better be some serious growth on in the next book. I am reserving my rating until then

Drav surprised me with how earnest, patient, and romantic he could be with both actions and words towards Mya. It was fascinating to learn about the origin of the grey skins and the hellhound, as well as getting to see more of how they lived in the underground cave system. Seeing Drav and Mya's affection and comfort for each other grow was also very endearing. However, I felt the pacing was a bit slower in this one and not a lot of substantial things happened. I wasn't kept on the edge of my seat as I was with the first book.

These books are pretty short, like a slightly beefier novella. I'm enjoying them, but one of the main things that irk me are the side characters. They have no flavor, and no personality. They are just flat and always there. This entire book the two main characters almost never get any alone time, and are constantly surrounded by others. So you'd think we'd get to know a few of them right? I mean the author does introduce us to like 2 of them but even then they are all just blobs of gray surrounding the fully realized two main characters.
I'll be getting the next book because I'm already in this, but having to pay for these hurts a little because I know I'm never going to reread them. I've been far too spoiled with kindle unlimited allowing me to read so many amazing books for free and then returning them, that when I get to a series I'm kinda interested in/like, but I also have to pay for it Im like "mehhhhh, okay I guess"
