I could not wait to pick this book up after reading Under Different Stars and I have to say that I was somewhat disappointed with this book. I was looking forward to seeing more of Kricket and Trey and I got a bunch of mayhem. At least through half of this book I was just wondering where the hell Trey, Wayra, and Jax were. I was very upset that I wasn't getting enough of the one thing I was looking forward to. 
 So with that being said, this second book was very action-packed and picked up right where the last book left off. I did like all the action scenes and kricket constantly trying to escape from everyone. And I ...cannot ... even tell you how many times Trey was there to save Kricket from Kyon. I mean the man is swoonworthy at its finest. I absolutely love him and he fights for kricket every step of the way doing everything in his power to keep her safe. I loved getting more from their growing relationship. 
 But. Yes, there is a but. I would have liked to have seen Kricket develop on her abilities a bit more. It just felt like this book was just half a story. Half of it takes place on the Ship of Skye and the other half of them on the run. I mean a war has just broken out. And on top of that, for her to be priestess who can see the future everyone in Rafe seems to think she's the enemy and has no power of precognition and they all want to eliminate her. I mean, what the hell? Kricket is too strong, brave, and kind to have to endure all the things that she has since coming to Ethar. 
 There were things I liked about this book, but there were also things I didn't like. This was definitely a step down from the first book which I fell in love with.
