Less action packed than book 1, with a lot more focus on character and relationship growth (as well as a big increase in the sex), this book still grabs with its characters and setting.
It continues right where book 1 left off and continues to weave a very fun story in a detailed setting.
I feel like Runa's writing ability has increased as well since the first book, with a better sense of the world coming through her descriptions and how the action is presented.
If there is a flaw, I feel like the book just stops without any major resolutions - a common issue with the middle book in a series. Everything is set up nicely for book 3, but without any real resolution of its own, the ending does come very abruptly.
