This definitely had that Middle Book Feeling where it seems like a lot happens, but nothing really happens at the same time. Like, there’s tons of action and drama and witty banter—which I totally LOVED—but the plot really isn’t moved along until the last chapter, which I kinda saw coming. Though I have questions. And despite the lack of overall plot furthering, I am absolutely consumed with Kai and Paedyn’s relationship. I can already feel the angst and longing that Book 3 is sure to drag out, and I don’t like it. Lol

This book had so much hype building up to its release, that I was eagerly waiting to see what would happen next, I would normally say that maybe I built it up too much, but this time I just think it needed more time and more substance. 
Throughout the whole book, there is absolutely no plot, it is just a cat-and-mouse chase that turns into an 'I hate you, I love you' fight and has no real high stakes that it needs. 
I understand the author said it was a bridging book but for a trilogy, it could've still been that and had a plot to follow. I barely ever see a second book in a series that is shorter than the first.
Over 300 pages of nothing. The only reason it has the rating it does is because the 5 star first book got me attached to the characters.

While this book kept me entertained, it was fine. There were parts I liked and there were more parts that I didn't really care for. I found the plot to be predictable and the pacing was off.  The characters, mainly Paedyn and Kai, were fine and it was interesting to see how their relationship developed. I will say that I wasn't too surprised by the ending.

Lauren Roberts, I'm under your bed. OH MY GOD.

I LOVED THIS SOOOO MUCH. I need the third book right now in my hands.

if you know me, you know I never shut up about the fact that I'm an OG Lauren Roberts fan. I waited for a year for Powerless to come out as self-published and immediately bought it once it was available and I fell in love right away. when she got traditionally published and then got insanely popular, I honestly couldn't be more proud of her and I'm so glad so many people got to know the world I love.

enough rambling and let's get to the book, 

Kai Azer is the fucking standard, I genuinely will not accept less than him. he's the love of my life. 

and Pae 🥹 love herrr. what a queen.

I'm so in love with their relationship and after that ending, I NEED to know what happens next. god I can't wait to read the third (and final😭) book in the trilogy.

I loved how character driven this book was. the fantasy and romance Lauren created is PERFECT.

I'm so in love with this world.
