As good if not better than the first book in the trilogy. Very exciting, could not put down. the romance does progress much more and it is just as filled with plot twists. although if you are not comfortable with torture in the means of starving and the denial of fresh water then this is not a book for you.
Moderate: Bullying, Violence, Torture, and Gore
