This book started out strong and kind of meandered in the middle. It felt like nothing was happening and I was more or less reading the same thing again that just happened a few chapters ago. The ending was more solid but did have me confused at moments.
I did also like Tanith and Oren as characters they felt complex and morally interesting with everything that was happening in the book. I will say compared to the first book I didn't feel as much chemistry between them and they could have used more development together. A lot of the book did have them separated so it was strange to me that they got together at all, but overall I did enjoy the book.
