Adelina is losing it. 
 It is amazing how swiftly her character is developing into an anti-hero and is kind of refreshing to see this in the main character of a YA novel. I'm tired of reading about the perfect, goody main female character. Adelina's inner darkness and the experiences that push her towards it are a breath of fresh air in YA literature. 
 After being vanished from the Daggers, Adelina decides she'll form her own society to fight Queen Regina and the Inquisition by her own rules, and, maybe... become queen herself. The first book dealt with her fear and her passion, the second book deals with her ambition. The thing is, you can actually feel how her mind is slipping further away with every new chapter. 
 New original characters are introduced all of them a bit of an enigma and I'm looking forward to know more about them. Actually, I'm a bit afraid that everyone has too many secrets for us to unravel before the series ends. Every character is a walking tragedy. I do hope it has a conclusion worthy of the first two books. 
 I don't think this is going to end well, I don't see a happy ending for anyone right now.
