Talk about an ending. I did not see the ending of this book coming at all. I had to admit that when I went into this book I was feeling a little ambivalent. The first book was good, but not great, but I started a series and so I wanted to see it though. I have to say though, I felt that this book was better then the first.
For starters I felt that Daire grew a lot more from where she was in the first book, and throughout this book. I was, however, shocked to find some of her actions insta-lovey since it was only about a month since the end of the first book. Maybe that was why it felt less insta-love because it was the second book.
One of my favorite parts of reading this book was the use of multiple narrators, namely Daire and Dace (which was still confusing). I was also disappointed that her mom, who makes a surprise appearance, wasn't more upset that her daughter was out all night, all she says is "I hope you were safe." Everything about Jennika says that she should have flown off the handle about this.
I was sad about how the way this book had to go, but I loved that the plot from the first book, the battle against the Richters and the training of Daire. I wish I could talk more about it, but I don't want to give away too many of the major plot points, but for me the ending made this book.
