I cant say this was as good as the first one, as nothing really happened until 1/4 way through the book. The story was really good and I loved the characters, old and new! I'm definitely going to read the last one in the series, especially since this finished on a cliffhanger. I also loved the continuous sarcasm and wit between Pennryn and Raffe, and the romance they have going on, I just wish they would be endgame by now 😂😍
