I have fallen hard for Aldrik. So very hard. 
 I am so hooked by this story line, a big part of that is how well Aldrik's character is fleshed out. Like I said, fallen hard. Who doesn't adore a tortured soul? 
 The story is also not as predictable as most books these days. 
 I think the characters are well done in this series, I feel for them. Baldair is also quite interesting, I am still wondering what makes him tick. The relationship dynamic between him and Aldrik 
 There's more magic in this one, which is great. As I said in my review of the first one, this is not a brilliantly written book. But there are amazing characters, complew relationships and a well-paced unique story line. I was personally engrossed in the story line and I am invested in the characters. And man, oh man, did I have fun reading this. 
 "You're the first thing I've seen him want to take for himself." 
 That ending? Damn you Elise Kova! I will be sitting on the edge of my seat for the next one. Thankfully, Kova has decided to have mercy on us and I only have to wait 3 months!
