Sequels, especially second books, are very hard to pull off and usually disappointing but Rachel Gillig doesn’t seem to know that. She continued and ended this story so effortlessly that you really start to question why other authors can’t.
If Ravyn made you nervous, wait until Elm meets his full potential. Wow, Rachel Gillig really didn’t hold back with the character development, hitting us left and right with compelling POVs, amazing banter, realistic motivations and delicious tension. This second book was very character driven, shifting its focus from the protagonists to the secondary characters. A bit heavier on the romance and sadly less of the Providence Cards, but still convincing and absolutely enjoyable.
Overall I think I would have enjoyed a bit more female badassery, but that’s something I’m usually missing. A new book has already been announced and rest assured, I will read it the moment it gets released.
Two books that will absorb you completely and make you forget about real life as long as they last. Highly recommended!
