4.5 stars

I loved the first book in this series and couldn't wait to read this one. Book two follows straight on from the first, with Safiya now trapped as a powerful man's possession. The men she loves were reluctantly on the run, trying to come up with a plan to save her that wouldn't get them all killed.

This book was a bit of an emotional ride, as Safiya struggles with her new life, while never giving up hope that she'll one day be free. What she goes through is awful and sad, and I really felt for her. She was strong though, and I loved her small acts of defiance, despite the anger and punishments she knew it would bring.

The ending was surprising, and I need book three now. I have no idea what will happen next!
