I loved this book as much if not more than I loved book one. Adrian and Isolde were so fiery and passionate and I liked seeing their growth as a couple. I liked all the background info we readers got in this one and I feel like it filled in so much. There was action, there was betrayal, there was violence and I was here for all of it. I couldn't put this one down. The spice was done fantastically and I felt like there was a great balance between those moments and the plot and political intrigue that was happening. I also was so thrown off by the ending and I cannot believe the cliffhanger I was left on.  This book was soo good and I am so excited to see where the next one goes. I also LOVE Isolde as a character. She is so strong and powerful and just makes an incredible queen. Overall, I am hugely obsessed with these books and Scarlett's writing.
