I enjoyed this a lot more than I remember enjoying the first in the series. I actually couldn't remember much about the first book, so maybe it was just the wrong time or something. 
 Roman is such a gorgeous character, and being a dog before becoming quickened made for an interesting dynamic. Roman's struggles and triumphs, along with some very funny moments especially with Lance trying to explain certain things and getting all flustered, made it an endearing read. I really wanted him to have his happy ending. 
 The only thing that didn't work for me was getting the POV of the bad guys. Honestly, they didn't need to be given the spotlight at all. 
 But honestly it was a lovely read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 
 Looking forward to cracking on with the next in the series.
