Wow! This was an amazing read. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first with this book. But I am so happy that I have read this book. Following Yelena and Valek again. The fact that this book was multiple pov made the story even more interesting. With the way that everything changed I was gripped to the story to be able to figure out what was going to happen within this book. Especially with the twist and turns that occurred which I hadn’t expected. I was shocked at times, and definitely didn’t want to put the book down as I wanted to be able to find out what was going on to happen next. I enjoyed the authors writing style and just wanted to keep reading it, there was such an easy and a nice flow of everything that has been going on. With the events that occurred at the end of the book, I am looking forward to see what the next book is going to have install for us. To see what else these characters will have to go through. This is definitely a book I would recommend to friends to read.

This was an amazing read. I loved the fact that it was duo POV, being able to see the way in which the story developed through the different pov’s was amazing. Jase, and Kazi were such interesting characters and they definitely came from different backgrounds and had many challenges throughout the book. And they clearly faced these challenges amazingly and because of this they developed as characters throughout the book. The plot line and story line of this book I enjoyed as I didn’t want to put the book down, I just wanted to be able to keep reading it. The writing style of this book I had enjoyed and loved reading the book.  With how the relationship changed throughout the book between Jase and Kazi, I am intrigued to see what was going to happen in the next book. Especially with how the book ended I am excited to see where the next book will take us.

Wow! This book was such an interesting read. I was intrigued by the blurb at first wanting to find out what was going to happen within this book. Yeeran as a character was very interesting and I definitely didn’t want to put the book down, as well as her sister Lettle. The writing style within this book I enjoyed and the fact that the book was multiple POV which help tell the story amazingly. With the way the story ended I am intrigued to see what is going to happen in the next book.

This was such an interesting read where the main character had to go through a lot in this book. And Yaron was such an interesting character from the very start. Especially from where we meet him in this book and with the challenges in which he had to face. The authors writing style I enjoyed muchly and it told the story amazingly. I was shocked at times with the twist and turns as I wasn’t expecting them. I really enjoyed the ending of the book as it definitely made me want to continue this series to be able o see what Yaron will have to go through in the next book.

This was such a gripping read from the start. I didn’t want to put it down as soon as I had started reading it. The fact that it was multiple POV was even better. The way that the story developed throughout the book, I didn’t want to stop reading it. The characters within this book developed even further throughout the book, to a point where I just wanted to see how else they might change. With the way that the twist and turns and challenges occurred, there was some of them that had completely surprised me as i hadn’t expected them to happen. And with the ending of the story i am looking forward to see what happens in the next book.

This was such an interesting read. I found the blurb of the book very intriguing, and it definitely made me want to find out what was going to happen within this book. The way that the story developed throughout the book, I didn’t want to put the book down with everything that has been happening. The way in which things changed throughout the book, definitely surprised me especially with the many twists and turns. I loved the fact that there was more than one pov within this book, which allowed the story to be even more interesting. Paedyn as a character was so intriguing and I constantly needed to figure out more about her as a character. The way that the story developed throughout the book I constantly wanted to keep reading. With the way that the book ended, I want to continue reading the series.

I was so excited to read this book, especially after reading two other books from this author within this world. And I am so glad that I had managed to read this book. I love the authors writing style as it told this story amazingly. The two main characters Isolda and Eustace were very interesting characters and managed to go through many difficult challenges along the way, which help them develop as characters. With the way the story developed along side the twists and turns that occurred I would definitely recommend this book to my friends to read, especially with the end of this story.
