I have mixed feelings about this one. While I genuinely enjoyed the book, especially the dynamic between Pae and Kai, and appreciated their constant presence together and the ongoing conflict between them, I expected more from the second installment. The storyline felt repetitive, often building up to what seemed like a climactic moment that never fully materialized.
Despite this, Lauren's writing style is captivating, and she remains an incredible storyteller. I wouldn't call this book a bad read by any means, and I'm looking forward to the third book and seeing where Pae and Kai's journey takes them next.
