I devoured this book in 2 days, staying up past midnight to consume the chapters while there was no one to bother me. 
 I was worried when I heard that much of this book was Jadir centered, not having found him that interesting in the first novel. He surprised me, though, and I thoroughly enjoyed his backstory. 
 I don't find it believable, however, that so many people would be second guessing him to often. I found myself with an eye twitch every time some one stepped forward to contradict him. He's not only the equivalent of a king to these people, but also a self proclaimed God. I feel like someone would say, Jadir, you're wrong, and he'd turn around and chop their head off and no one would do that anymore. Nope. It's all, Jadir are you sure that's wise, Jadir let me disrespect me, Jadir let me purposefully mistake what you've told me. I feel like Brett TOLD us that Jadir was a ruler not to be trifled with but then showed us that he's just a man. Super annoying. 
 I wish Wonda had gotten more page time, and I wish we could just kill Elona off already. 
 I can't be the only one who thought Leesha should marry Jadir to ensure peace, but Leesha's character us ever contrary and indecisive. 
 I'm hoping for a bit more resolution about the demon princes in book three.
