[Rating closer to a 3.5 rather than a 3]
So once again I did enjoy this more than book 1, there is definitely more action and we finally get introduced to some more key players such as Spence.
I agree with my entire first review of this book! The way Linc treats Violet for the first half INFURIATES me. However, I definitely understand where he was coming from and why he was behaving this way. It's still annoying though.
This book also has one of my favourite scenes in the whole series, the scene where Seph reveals the truth about Magda and Violet confronts her in front of everyone. Magda is an evil, selfish cow and I hate how she lies and manipulates Linc and Griff - so the scene where she's exposed is amazing.
Rudy though... while it was an important plot point, it breaks my heart.
Really enjoyed this book, would definitely to recommend to any fans of YA fantasy!

Okay so I must say I enjoyed this one more than the first, the story really begins to take off and get you hooked.
So, here are my thoughts...
Lincoln keeping secrets from Violet after promising never to do so again really upset me, and it made my heart break for Violet. After giving up her life for him the least he could do is be honest with her. At times I felt sorry for him but so much of his trouble is caused by himself and his inability to communicate with Violet.
Dapper is amazing and one of my sassy favs.
Magda. Honestly, I hate her more than any other character in this series. This grown ass women bullies and sabotages Violet and Lincolns partnership just because she wants him. Violet and Linc are literally going to be partners for god knows how many hundreds of years, so what exactly does she think she'll achieve by driving a wedge between them? It's not like Violet will just go away. When Violet hits her I honestly cheered, but I literally don't understand why Linc and Griff got so mad at Violet for hitting her...These are trained warriors who fight for a living, I'm pretty sure that slap didn't seriously injure her. I understand the principle but man what a total overreaction.
Magda's downfall was ICONIC. She totally had it coming, and it was very enjoyable to see everyone see her for the trash she is. I hope she dies soon.
The one thing I don't understand is how Violet is SO OBLIVIOUS. Every time she finds out Phoneix is behind something she's like OMG I SHOULD HAVE REALISED...Yes, Violet, you should have realized that all these bad things were caused by the bad guy...not really rocket science.
