WOO-HOO. finally. I've been waiting for this book. 
 So, I'm going to try my best with this review because i got into one of those mood I get into where I'm like "NO MORE REVIEW!! for gosh sakes! PLEASE." So I read like five books in a row and I dont remember which ones I read and my reviews are shitty. This happened this week, and I'll try my best. 
 Ok, so anyway, I'm starting at the end today. There was no ending. Nothing was resolved at the end. With the keepers or ren and her love life or with the all the "Scion" crap. I know there's going to be a third book, but usually by the end of a second book, something has happened. I mean, don't get me wrong. major shit goes down in this book with Shay and Calla and with searchers and such. 
 The book was good, the writing is good, and the plot is intriguing, but CALLA ANNOYS ME. I like her whole badass wolf persona, but she cant seem to make up her mind about anything. ANYTHING. does she trust the searchers or not? Shay or ren? Did i make the right choice or not? shall i go against the keepers or not? At the end of the book she seems to make some definig choices, but her feelings STILL contradict those actions. 
 Then theres the "Ren" problem. I am personally a team Ren girl. Shay is stupid. no, sorry, stupid is mean. Rephrasing: Shay is not my favorite person. He adds flare to the story and all, but he is not for Calla because half the time she is either being overprotective, he is being overprotective, he is trying to get into her pants, or he is annoying her. Ok, so Ren was pretty much doing the exact same things, but he has said some pretty serious stuff to Calla. 
 Ok, back to the "Ren" problem, I want her to be with Ren. In the first book, I was almost crying when she walked away from him to save shay. COME ON. they are like meant to be together, and throughout this whole second book she's annoying the hell out of everyone with her mixed feelings about him. Just choose him already! 
 Also, this book is one of those rollercoaster books. That book where you're just like "What the hell did she just do!" Then five seconds later you're like. "NO! why did she do that if she just did that other thing before. does that even make sense? No. of course it doesn't. THAT'S WHY I'M SO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW!" You'll understand when you get to the end. 
 So, overall, no matter what you may believe about my review thus far, I did like the book. Like...it's a good book. A lot goes on, and the characters are interesting enough and the plot is good... 
 OH MY GOSH! I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING. THIS MAY JUST BE THE MOST JUMBLED REVIEW YOU WILL EVER READ IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE IM TIRED RIGHT NOW AND IM JUST TYPING OUT THE FIRST THING THAT COMES INTO MY BRAIN. 
 I just remembered one very annoying thing about parts of this book. There are some parts in the beginning where they're explaining a bunch of stuff about the real history of guardians or whatever. and there is no break in this story or the information that is in this book in those first few parts of the book. It goes on for pages and pages and pages and i..um...GASP...skipped a paragraph or two...I couldn't help it!! Just all the knowledge and freaking insanity of what they are talking about is overwhelming. Shouldn't all that knowledge and stuff not be in one section of the book. shoudlnt they have like gradually learned new information throughout the book. 
 Oh, yeah, and like every single new character in this book is introduced in like the first chapter or two of the book and it kinda confused me. There were all the searchers that you meet, and you're just like "SHUT UP! I DONT WANT TO MEET YOU YET. I JUST MET THAT OTHER GUY! GIVE ME SOME TIME TO GET TO KNOW HIM!." 
 Ok. So now I've listed nearly every complaint I have about this book, and now it REALLY may seem like I hated the book, but I didn't. It wasn't bad. It was like one of those books that you really want to drop into the ocean never to be seen again, but at the same time while you're not reading it you're thinking about what's going to happen next....if that makes sense.....
