It is only when writing this review that I realise that the majority of the book took place within the Fourth army. I did enjoy the new characters that we got introduced to and that Auren seems to grow a bit in this book and by the end we can see who she may become through out the rest of the series. 
I think I preferred the camp life compared to the previous setting of the palace and the travelling. It gives you a chance to settle in a bit more and get to know the characters that I have no doubt will keep coming up in the series.
I was also surprised that we got chapters from Queen Malina POV. I'm not sure how I feel about her. I am kind of invested to see what she can do but I also feel like her dislike for Auren is very superficial, but I'm here to see if there is character growth for her throughout the series or if she just becomes a one dimensional villain for the plot.

Auren’s Stockholm Syndrome is still strong, but the growth I thought I saw coming at the end of book one is already happening and I’m here for it. I had several theories proved right, but I’m not mad about it. One of them, the author had me second guessing myself! Excited to move on to the next book!

„He shakes his head. “No, Auren. You’re the one that needs to burn. You need to spark to life and fight. Stop letting him dull you, stop letting the whole fucking world trample you,” he shouts, making me flinch from the vehement demand. “If you tried, you could shine brighter than the fucking sun. Instead, you’ve chosen to sit back and wither.”“ 
-S.R. 

➳ Once again, Raven Kennedy‘s writing was immaculate and I couldn‘t put this book down whatsoever! The whole series is just so addicting that I picked up the third book right after finishing this lol

➳ Commander Rip got me from the first page, their conversations and the way he‘s trying to show her her real worth? Omg. Can‘t get over them and I‘m so excited to see their journey!! 

➳ The side characters are just making this whole series so perfect, every single one is unique and it never get‘s boring to read about people other than the main characters. I think Raven Kennedy did an awesome job at making them likable and lovable 

➳ Once again I loooved the wintery traveling setting 

➳ Gotta say that the plot twists can be expected and seen from a mile away, but I gaped nonetheless when they happened 

➳ I loved the development of Auren, thinking about everything that had happened, who has actually done her wrong and her starting to see her real worth and develop self love <3 

➳ Also I‘m still trying to figure out whether I like Malina or not, nonetheless her POV‘s are pretty entertaining and I‘m excited to see where her journey‘s going to go 

➳ Oh and also? I HATE MIDAS!!!

This barely had a conflict to it so it was definitely a filler book but wow I could not stop reading. Is this the best literature ever written? No, but I was thoroughly entertained and I love these characters. I can’t wait to read the next one.
