I liked this one a little better than the first. I once again had the same feeling of the characters being under-developed, but I liked the plot better.

A disappointing read after the first book. It feels that both main characters regressed: Tom is once again shallow, selfish and looks-obsessed after seemingly growing up in the first book and Hester is completely dependent on Tom and still has a complete lack of self esteem or self worth. And I must mention that all of this is after they have been together for two years. I hate the common trope of characters not communicating properly, leading to a while lot of avoidable drama due to misunderstandings and this book had at least 3 major occurrences of that.
I will give the next book a try, but am much less enthused about the series as a whole.

I really enjoyed this. It was such a fun adventure with real stakes, betrayals, laughs, and twists. If didn't already have another book lined up, I'd be starting the 3rd one in this series today.
