I loved the first book, and for that reason — AND THAT REASON ALONE — I didn’t DNF this one. It was very much only okay. Too slow, and too long. Very meandering. I really had to force myself through this one, but I do feel like it set up book three with some interesting possibilities.

At first i did find the story a little boring, so i didn’t think i would like it as much. However i fell in love very quickly, mostly with Wren’s storyline. I feel like Rose’s is a bit less interesting, plus the fact i admit to liking Wren’s character more. I loved the romance and the tension, i enjoyed the drama between the characters. spoilers and i’m praying Wren and Alarik get together, no offence Tor. but i feel like it’s highly unlikely. no spoilers

The buildup was amazing! The story progressed beautifully. normally I don’t like switching pov’s because you’re so caught up in the story of one person that you don’t wanna move to the next’s, but in this book I didn’t mind it one bit! I also really loved the unexpected love triangle!!

'Stop. It.'

'Make. Me.'

And then they were kissing. Wren didn't know why she licked the snowflake from his bottom lip, or why he opened his mouth to her, seizing the kiss. But now, it was too late.

The spark had been ignited, and they stood in its fire, letting it consume them.

'I hate you,' she hissed. 'I hate you more than anyone I've ever met.'

'And you think I care?' he sneered. 'I hate you, too.'

'Tyrant,' said Wren, rising to her tiptoes.

'Brat,' he shot back.

She jutted her chin out. 'Wretch.'

He dipped his head. 'Witch.'

The queen pressed down on the keys, a single chord erupting like an aria. A nearby soldier poked his head out of an alcove, his eyes widening in disbelief.
