3.5⭐️
This was one of my most anticipated reads for the year and it sadly did not hold up as much as the first book in this series did. It took a bit for the story to get going with a lot of repetitive actions from Isla. I was hoping by book three we would see her grow into her powers, but it took almost the whole book for that to happen and even then it wasn’t until the last few pages where it all came together. The love triangle is also overdone at this point. However, the ending and possible continuation of the storyline has me intrigued, especially since Alex announced two more books in this series. With this book we finally got more of Isla’s history and family which really brought the whole picture together.
