I love this series! It’s fun, tense, and studded with action and just a hint of romance. I think it side-steps common trope flaws well and is just a really good read.
Paige is still a badass, learning more about her gifts and what she can do with them. She has to make tough decisions that feel real and weighty. Nick is just too pure for the world he’s in and loves Paige so much and is put into a terrible situation. I love that we get to see more of Eliza and Danica (one of my favorite names!) in this and how they all work together.
Lastly, Warden is still my only complaint in that he still seems very…one dimensional maybe? The naïve romantic in me loves him but he definitely doesn’t stand up to some other fictional men that I love (Jaime from Outlander, Rhys from ACOTAR, Matthias from SoC, etc) in terms of being a good partner. The make-out scenes in both this and the first book felt very out of place. The first one was very Tamlin-and-Feyre-under-the-mountain and this one, while less egregious, was still a little out of place?
These are minor complaints though and I still totally adore this series!!
