I really like the characters, although it takes me a long while to warm up to Riven’s character. I love the growing relationship between Ty and Kaya, also the sister bonding between Asa and Kaya. 
 
The futuristic world building is great and the plot sounds very interesting, the group fights in a competition in order to protect themselves from their enemy that's threatening them. 
However the plot feels all over the place cause there are other things happening along the way that confuses me. 
 
It’s been a while since I read the first book and to be honest I forgot most of what happened in the first book. That's one of the reason why I’m having difficulties getting hooked into this story since most of the times I just felt confused. 
 
I remember enjoying the first book (cause I gave it a 4 star) but this one doesn’t live up to my expectation. I really like the characters but other things prevent me from fully enjoying this book. 
I would highly recommend re-reading the 1st book before reading this one (if you’ve read the 1st book a long time ago…) 
 
I received an advanced review copy through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
