In all honesty, I think I was a little underwhelmed with this installment. I really liked the first book to be sure. I wanted this one to be 'the big bang'. I wanted a big battle and big change. Instead I got a little battle and some change. In many ways I feel like this story isn't finished, even though the series is done. I will give it this; This book had a much faster pace than the other books and I liked that. I would still absolutely recommend this series to any fans of the genre though. I talk about this book and others on my YouTube channel, here: http://bit.ly/RN2j5n 
 My Spoilery Thoughts: (view spoiler)[I wish the Enkros had been destroyed. I wish the whole system had been brought to its knees. I still feel like we don't know anything about the Enkros. Like, what was their purpose? What did they plan to get from their research? 
 What happened to the other Draki prisoners? Did they get their trackers out? Did they unknowingly lead hunters back to their prides? While Jacinda was off looking for her mom, were whole prides being wiped out? I honestly thought that, as soon as Jacinda remembered the tracker implants, she would search for the other prides-- try to warn them. Not only did it take her an odd amount of time to figure out that they were being tracked, but she didn't even express much concern over the other Draki. 
 This was all kinda disappointing to me. I really felt like this story had so much potential, so many places that it could go, but instead it all stayed in a very "safe" place. 
 I'm happy that Tamora found someone. I didn't expect that. I'm shocked that Cassian just left. There wasn't much of an explanation there either. Also, his aunt murdered his sister.... and then she just gets away.... Hmm, wasn't impressed with that plot development. It was only shrug-worthy. 
 So yeah, I don't want to hate on this book, cuz I loved Firelight. This book just never grabbed me and said "READ ME NOW!". (hide spoiler)]
