If the two main characters hadn’t been imprisoned for over 300 pages, this would have probably been a 5 star. 
That being said, the use of their imprisonment to uncover the lore  of the main villain was very well done. It could easily have been depressing and tedious but instead it was suspenseful and compelling. 
I finished this book on my lunch break and found myself at barnes and noble after work, picking up the next one in the series.

This book was incredibly repetitive and nothing happened for the first 60%. Not a ton even happened in the last 40%, but at least the plot moved forward. If I weren’t already so invested in Sera and Ash’s story I’d check out, honestly. Praying that the last book is better (books 1 & 2 were much better, so I have hope).

The hardest of the JLA books I've read. A lot of dark themes. Some disturbing content. A lot of significant plot movement for the larger narrative. It's definitely leaving me with strong suspicions for the end of the first series and next book of this one.

3.0

I usually enjoy the books in this series because of the cheesy romance but I really struggled to get through this one. This book is about main character, Sera’s, time spent under the captivity of the King of the Primals, Kolis, and it is pretty dark but also very drawn out with a lot of emotional suffering. I read books that are fun and entertaining and 80% of this book made me tense and anxious. I don’t enjoy that kind of reading experience so this has been my least favorite book of the series, but some people might enjoy exploring those other emotions.
