This sequel to Powerless was a similarly fun read in the romantasy series, though I believe it suffered a bit from "second book syndrome."
The trials have ended, and Paedyn is running for her life. The princes who once considered themselves friends of Paedyn are now hunting her down. Kitt finds himself in charge of the kingdom and sends the Enforcer, his brother Kai, to find Paedyn and bring her to him alive.
Readers get a few small snippets from Kitt's perspective alongside Kai's and Paedyn's points of view. The game of cat-and-mouse between Paedyn and Kai plays out multiple times throughout this novel, and this does get old after a while. What doesn't get old is the romantic tension between the two. The banter and near misses are top notch.
Though Reckless wasn't a 5 star read for me, that ending left me reeling. I'm going to read the next book regardless, but I do hope to see more plot in the third installment of the trilogy.
