I'm glad I'm enjoying this series. I'm not sure why I'm surprised at the fact that I rate these books highly when I'm a hopeless romantic but maybe it is because I wasn't expecting to love the other elements in the book as much as I did.

In this book particularly I was a little disappointed that we didn't get as much romantic development as we did in the first book but I have some understanding within me as the relationship dynamic was very different compared to the couple in the first book. I was a fan of the political machinations shown in this book and look forward to continue reading the series.

Enjoyed this more than the first book, although I still don't know if I will ever enjoy reading the word mate so many times in one piece of fiction. I liked Ladon a lot more than I liked Brand, which helped. The dragon politics (two words I never expected to put together in my life) is starting to really ramp up. I'm interested to see how this whole thing plays out now. It was also nice to see Skylar and Ladon's character growth together. It felt stronger than Kasia and Brand's in the first book. Overall, a solid sequel and I can't wait to read the third book.
