Review: 
 Protagonist: One of the first things I noticed about Clara at the beginning of this installment is that she's the same person that we left in the previous installment. Her character development that she went through had stuck and she didn't revert to early-mid Unearthly Clara, which is something that a lot of second/middle books suffer. We also see a bit of change in her in this installment as well, mainly her begrudging acceptance of her purpose and that while she may ultimately change some of what is to come, there are things that are unavoidable and that she cannot stop everything. 
 Romance: This love triangle still amazes me. It's something unlike everything I've seen before, where it's really hard to know who Clara will choose, because all those signs that point to who she will choose either aren't there or are pointing to both boys. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in both Tucker and Christian during this book, though one guy I did give a bit of slack due to him being very romantic with his possibly territorial and stubborn behavior. The other one still continues to annoy me and while he isn't Aspen from The Selection level annoyance it's pretty substantial that I have decided to not root for his team. 
 World-Building: I have to say there was quite a bit of world-building and at times a brief overload of info dump. That being said since this is the second book a lot of world building is expected so I wasn't turned off by the excess of info. In this book we learn a lot more about angel-bloods, some things that ring in tragedy and others that lead greater self discovery for our characters. Many questions from the previous book get answered, though not all. We also learn more about Clara's mother and who she was prior to settling down and having children. We finally learn her purpose and what she went through to keep her children safe. 
 Predictability: Once again Ms. Cynthia Hand doesn't hold back on the twists which range from, "Woah, I didn't see that coming," to, "Didn't see it coming, and it was kind of cheesy," to, "I saw it coming from near the beginning of the last book." While the majority is unforeseeable the shock factors of this book are actually pretty predictable or in one case I only "predicted" something because I was joking how cheesy it would be. The overall predictability is still great though and this was definitely a book that kept me on my toes. 
 Ending: This book ended different than I thought it would. There was no real cliffhanger, but more of a plateaued ending that I would have expected from the first installment. It didn't leave me craving the next installment or anxious to continue the series, it just sort of, ended. While there were a lot of questions left unanswered, the book ends at a very serene moment when those unanswered questions aren't so important and instead focuses on the now and what Clara needed in that moment. 
 Rating: 
 This series still deserves a medal or award for one of the most original plots, or at least handling of a plot I've ever seen. It was a fun ride watching the story unfold especially when the book became very self aware and Clara would remark about how she seems to be stuck in some kind of YA love triangle. It's an amazing series so far and I would recommend it to any YA lover.
