I feel like this book was mostly just filler to build up for the third and final book in the series. There was a lot of action and fighting, but none of it super impactful. We spend the whole book on something that probably could've been resolved way faster, but I love Kai and Paedyn so I didn't mind reading about their journey together. It was a tad bit unrealistic at times, but aren't most fantasy books like that sometimes? I was shocked by the ending and will definitely continue this series once the third book comes out. I'm really curious about what will happen to them all and how the series will end.
