~ Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review ~

We got so much more information in this book and I’m so happy about it! I had such a great time reading this, and I am loving the dynamic between Morgan and Draven, they are so cute together. I loved getting to see more of Draven and where he is from and the people he surrounds himself with. This book definitely had that found family aspect to it that a lot of fantasy books have, and I think it was done very well.

I think that Morgan was being a little hard on Draven for pretty much the entire book, but I don’t think it was anything that really got in the way of me being able to read it. I am so so glad that we got some more information on the fae and what the heck is going on with that. I do think that the presence of fae in this book is a little murky, because it was shown to us in the first book that like no full blooded fae have been around for like 150 years, so Morgan just being totally down with it was a little odd but not entirely.

The trials?!!? I love a good trial, you can really tell I’m from the Hunger Games generation with how into to-the-death trials I am. I also liked that it made sense, sometimes the plot gets lost with trials involved, but that didn’t happen here. We knew why the trial was happening, we watched trials happen, and we got a little more into the trials than just that too. It also helped that Morgan didn’t know what was going on with those, so other characters explaining what’s happening to her didn’t feel like forced explanations. 

This book was a stellar sequel- the plot kept moving, we learned more about Morgan’s background, we learned more about Draven’s background, we got more worldbuilding, and we got a good amount of action AND romance. 100% worth the read!
