AHH THE WHOLE BOOK WAS BETTER THAN THE FIRST AND I THOUGHT THERE WAS ONLY 2 BOOKS AND GOT TO THE LAST 50 PAGES LIKE HOW ARE WE GOING TO WRAP THIS UP GUYS OH KNOW OH SHIT OH FUCK AND THAN I REALIZED I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL FEBRUARY TO GET MY HANDS ON THE LAST BOOK! WHAT IS THIS SORCERY! 
 Okay now we've got that out there wholly sancts this book was amazing. Pirates, magic competitions, royal affairs, balls, evilness, angst, new amazing characters, and MORE LILA! 
 This book had it all. Kell has gone stir crazy and feels like a prisoner in his own home, Lila has left the city and become a gosh darn pirate with a hat and everything and is being her usual self scaring the crap out of anyone that comes near her. Rhy isn't as carefree as the last book and has more angst and darkness to him now giving his personality a really contrasting edge and showing what surviving death has done to him. Alucard the captain of the ship is funny, cunning, and charming. 
 The storyline is deeper, the stakes are higher and the dilougue was just as good if not better then the first book: 
 "I am Delilah Bard, she thought, as the ropes cut into her skin. I am a thief and a pirate and a traveler. I have set foot in three different worlds, and lived. I have shed the blood of royals and held magic in my hands." 
 I loved that we saw more or Kell and Rhy's relationship, is it just me or does everyone love to annoy Kell? I know I love it when they do it XD 
 "What brings you to my room?" he asked, relief bleeding into annoyance. 
 "Adventure. Intrigue. Brotherly concern. Or," continued the prince lazily, "perhaps I'm just giving your mirror something to look at besides your constant pout." 
 Kell frowned, and Rhy smiled. "Ah, there it is! That famous scowl." 
 Oh and the SHIPS! No not the pirate ships the relationships! (view spoiler)[ Alucard and Rhy are amazing and I loved the reveal that they had seen each other, it really connected perfectly and I want them to be together! 
 "Alucard snaked an arm possessively around his shoulders and brought his lips to the prince's neck, just below his ear. Rhy actually shivered. 
 "You are far too familiar with your prince," he warned. 
 "So you confess it, then?" His brushed his lips against Rhy's throat. "That you are mine." (hide spoiler)] 
 As much as I love that romance takes a back seat and doesn't over power the story I want more Kell and Lila time! (view spoiler)[When he saw her in the competition! When he caught sight of her at the ball and asked to Dance, when she couldn't wait to show him her magic and beat him in a fight, when she realized she doesn't want t run from him. OH SO MANY MOMENTS 
 "They crashed into each other as if propelled by gravity, and he didn't know which one of them was the object and which the earth, only that they were colliding. The kiss was Lila pressed into a single gesture. Her brazen pride and her stubborn resolve, her recklessness and her daring and her hunger for freedom. It was all those things, and it took Kell's breath away." (hide spoiler)] 
 THEORIES/WANTS FOR THE NEXT BOOK 
 (view spoiler)[ Lila is defiantly an Antari as soon as I found out her eye was glass I new it. So Lila's going to travel through to white London and go and save Kell before that freakin neck manical kills him and Rhy. 
 Kell and Lila will have to fight and defeat the black London god and hopefully Alucard helps out with his powers. The King of Red London will die hopefully Rhy will ascend and give Kell his freedom. Kell and Lila will go travel the worlds together playing with magic and looking for new adventures. OH and Kell has to find out his name and who his mother was hopefully the queen fess's up in a moment of "motherly love". (hide spoiler)]
