I was really looking forward to reading this book as it brought back the girl you loved to hate from the 1st book and told the conclusion of her story. I loved being in the villain's mindset this time around. The BDSM is def heavy handed in this book and borderlines on cruel in places, but considering the storyline and the characters in this book, it made perfect sense and fit very well. I did want a bit more development in the relationship between the female and male leads though. It seemed that they were suddenly in love with each other and I wasn't sure how they got there. I liked this aspect of the story though, just wanted more. My only true complaint was the ending. I wanted to SEE what happened to them. I was invested in the punishment by this point and wanted to see justice done and was disappointed that I didn't get that reward as a reader. I am hoping that I was left hanging for a reason (hint hint another book in the series please!). Other than that though, I really liked this book a lot.

It was a fun read, but I still hate Mayia, the manipulative thing.

I find this novel to be a bit more character focused (probably stemming from that it is told through Mayia, and she doesn't care about much other than herself), and thus loses some of Santhomas' mark of wonderful descriptions of the land and so on. This is not a negative, because it suits the tone, and it suits the main character- we already know what Janos looks like by now anyway.

The reveals Mayia (as a novel) makes about the Realm of Janos, and what has gone on in the background or completely apart from previous books make it a refreshing and enthralling read.
