This was a really good sequel. A lot of series suffer from “second book syndrome” of just being boring and not useful.
Holy hell this was not it. I was tense the entire time. It was brutal, it was violent, it was bloody. Loved it

“ - Shade Barrow! 
- Oh, vá lá, toda a gente sabe. Não é culpa minha que não te tenhas apercebido. “

Bom, decidi ler o segundo livro da rainha vermelha porque gostei bastante do primeiro. E acho que é um bom livro porque me apeguei a personagens e fiquei feliz porque numa altura estava a correr tudo bem até não correr e morri por dentro um pouco tantas vezes que até me perguntei porque é que ainda estava a ler o livro no fim :,) 

De qualquer maneira este livro continua a história de Mare Barrow e não só, também conta a história de Kilorn, Farley, Shade, Cal, e todos os sanguenovos que vão sendo salvos. Uma boa continuação para o livro Rainha Vermelha, a continuação do desenvolvimento dos sanguenovos e as suas diferentes habilidades foram uma das coisas que me fez querer continuar a ler, para além de Shade, Kilorn e do romance……. 

Agora vou ler outros primeiro antes de continuar com a coleção para recuperar a dor emocional que me deu este livro.

“ - Se morreres, mato-te. 
Ele sorri tristemente.
- Igualmente “
