Careful: there are spoilers form the previous book! 
 After Enzo's death, Adelina travels with her sister Violeta to find other elites that can join her in her fight against Teren and the queen. 
 Meanwhile, the daggers join Meave, the queen of another country and lover of Lucent, in a quest to resuscitate Enzo and defeat the queen with the rightful heir. 
 I loved this book so much. And I know I'm on the minority here, but I sided with Adelina in the first book and I sided with here most of the second book also. 
 I think the daggers are hypocrites. There, I said it. Yes, Adelina didn't fully trust them in the previous book, but they didn't either. They feared her, distrusted her, and also betrayed her. I really don't understand why they judge others when they do the exact same things. Why do lives don't count when they kill? 
 Adelina says that Enzo is willing to forgive the Daggers so quickly, and she is right. Their plan was just as horrible as her was. They, Enzo included, were willing to do whatever it takes and use whoever it takes to get what they wanted. I understand that somewhere along the way Adelina lost herself and turned into a villain, but she has powers that make her mad. They say that the difference between a hero and a villain is that both look for their happy ending, but the villain is willing to do whatever it takes to get it. I think this book is full of villains then. 
 I just loved Magiano. I hope we get to see him more in the next book, and his relationship with Adelina evolves. I also liked Sergio, and while Violeta exasperates me, I liked her in the final chapter. 
 I still don't like Rafaelle. I still think he makes horrible choices, and I cant see him as a hero. He knows that all the things he did were wrong, and gets used by Meave the whole book even if he doesn't agree with what he is doing. 
 Anyway, I always contemplated the Batman idea that the only difference between a her and a villain is a bad day. And sometimes it is, but something that's not enough. Some people can make the right choices even if they get betrayed and are abused. Others are not that strong. What I liked about this book is that it makes you revaluate what you think about good and bad. It makes you question yourself, and I think that in the end, I maybe a villain in disguise! 
 I'm scared for Adelina in the next book. I think that she's going to eventually come back from the darkness and sacrifice herself, either for someone she loves or to send Enzo's darkness back to where he belongs. I would love to be wrong, because it would be a bit predictable. I'll have to wait and see!
