3.5 stars. In my opinion, not as good as the first one. While it was a really quick read, nothing really happened. This book adds alternating povs, switching between Ky and Cassia each chapter but frankly, you definitely would not be able to differentiate between them unless you read the name at the beginning of the chapters. Ky doesn't have a distinct voice and sounds EXACTLY the same as Cassia. So there's that...plus, I really wanted to strangle some characters in this book.
