Story is like a side plot. Focus is on Pae and Kai mending their relationship. All resistance elements and the hooks from Powerless have still to be explored

I don't know where to begin. I liked this book, but not enough to say it was another favorite or something to keep on the shelf. The cons: he was basically chasing her and loving her but hating her at the same time while wanting her throughout the entire book. See where I am going with this? They were running away from each other the whole time; while, having conflicted feelings and intimate scenes, then going back to hating each other. It was a book of Bipolar if I've ever seen one. Another thing was the writing. I felt like it was an easy read, but too easy. The plot was simple, get her back to the King, but it was too character based. Making me feel like the author, Lauren Roberts, lost sight of the plot. The last con is the scenes where Kitt told the story. I felt like there wasn't much giving in his perspective other than his greif for his father. We got it after the fifth time it was explained. The pros: I appreciated the scenes with Kai and Paedyn. They were a sort of intimate that was appropriate but made you feel something. Making me mad at the way the ending landed. Other than that, there was nothing else about the book that made it good. I feel more negatives than positives were riding off this. I am not sure I would recommend this book, though it makes you want to read the unreleased to see what happens between the three.

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.

this was better than the first book, although a bit repetitive. I already got a spoiler for the ending but didn't expect Kitt to be direct like that.
also what the fuck is up with calum??? and why didn't kai recognise him when Paedyn was reading her father's journal??? this is all so confusing. i think calum is a double agent or something, tho i can't seem to figure for which side.
