Reviews

[Serena · Rating 3 out of 5]

Unfortunately, the sequel is not as good as part 1.
The story is mostly about the way the Indians live.
As a result, there is too little dialogue between the main characters. This is a pity because the interaction between the two is very good, there are just not enough scene's between them in this sequel.

Even though the story about the Indians is very interesting, that was not why I wanted to read the book. I wanted to read more about Devlin and Sarah.

And why the fate to black love scenes? The long-awaited first love scene that was missing in part 1, is the highlight of Part 2.
I thought that this love scene was very beautiful and passionately written. I also was hoping for more scene's like this, because there is so much chemistry between the two women. I don't understand why the rest of the book just contains fate to black scenes. This was very disappointing because the chemistry was so well defined. And if you're so good at writing such scene's why evade them?

Nevertheless, you should read this sequel if you liked Tumbleweed Fever.
It is worth to know what happens between Devlin and Sarah. Unfortunately, it will not reach the quality and uniqueness of Part 1. But after reading these books I am very intrested in more books by L.J. Maas.

I am so glad this book was finished this was one of the most amazing historical romances full of adventure, history and sizzling love.

[Morgan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Bit of a disappointing sequel. The once somewhat interesting characters are now flat and dull. Just a "meh" story.

This book has quite a lot of insights to the Indian traditions and customs as well as historical backdrop that was thoroughly enjoyed. That said....this upside also created a downside that could have had me in the boring party if I wasn't a fervent fan.
