Loved the way the romance developed in this book compared to the last one. Felt like this book was overall less strong than book 1, but still really enjoyed it. The revelations at the end were so cool!

This book made me so emotional.  It was a tough read. I just need Elryn to belong somewhere. It dragged for a bit around 60-70%.
