Honestly the majority of the book was ok, but 75% was redundant.
We spend basically the first 75% flipping between Paedyn being the captive and Kai being the captive.
As such the plot never seems to progress. Especially since all this happens in basically the same setting. Basically nothing happens in the first 75% of the book which is too long. There’s also the matter of the weird data dump that is clearly because the author got a lot of criticism on book 1 for missing motivations. I think this book had a lot of potential it just missed the mark.

Okay so let me preface this by saying that even though there is a LOT that an editor could have helped with and there isn’t a single original idea in the whole series, I was still absolutely hooked. 
But really, the typos and plot holes were KILLING me. 

“WRAPPED on the door”, “I trace the GROVES in the wood”, “before I’ve even CHOCKED down air for my burning lungs”. Also, what is a “glasslike gaze”?  WHAT does “she’s already accepted a fate of her deciding” mean?? Lauren! Girl!
The other beef I had that felt like a pretty big over look is that the chain they’re linked together with is “three feet long”. Three feet is NOT very long at all, especially not when you take into account that Paedyn is 5’6” and Kai has to be somewhere around 6’. Exactly how are they climbing through windows and up ladders and rock faces and mounting horses while connected with a chain less than a body length?
