The ending had my jaw on the floor.
Holy shit, that was something unexpected.
This book took me through twists and turns I could not even think of. The romance and the banter was amazing but I loved that I was easily able to get back into the world after it being months since I finished Powerless.

That's a whole lotta words for literally nothing to happen. I could've written the same book in just three words: sand and angst.

It felt like a slow start, and dragged a bit. But quite a cliffhanger (and one I was dreading would occur). 
I can't wait for the next book. I NEED to know what happens between Paedyn, Kai, and Kitt.

Of all the stories that could have been told after the way book 1 ended, this has got to be one of the most boring. 

It made the world feel smaller, like the only consequence of a long-built rebellion trying to make a stand against a tyrant king is that now one girl is going to be in some nebulous form of trouble. Maybe she'll be sentenced to death, maybe she'll fall in love. Read along as she crosses some indeterminate length of desert to find out! (Spoiler: it's love) 

There's very little (if any) character growth and nothing really changes in the grand scheme of things until the end, and even that felt underwhelming.
It feels like the next book could start with a 1-page conversation between Kitt, Kai, and Pae, and everything will be cleared up.


This book made me retroactively like Powerless... less. 



Also, making out in a sewage drain will never be hot.
