This book was a bit of a drag for me - I felt that the plot kept taking unnecessary breaks and it just didn’t keep me interested. I’m still intrigued by the overall story, but I’m not as anxious to read the next one.

It was at times quite long but I liked how much happened in this book.
something is up with Lukas, I knew they were getting bonded but I believe he is good to some extent. I am glad her and ivon finally got together but starcrosses lovers indeed. I am glad they made their way to the resistance even though it seemed a little easy for them to just move around so freely. The prison scene was great!

I’m enjoying this series more than I anticipated based on the first book. The pacing initially felt slow to me, but upon reflection, I think this might be the most “real life paced” fantasy I’ve read in a while.
I also really like that we’re seeing the main characters take their own path to the resistance - starting with what matters to them before they search the formal structure out.

Some parts dragged. But still enjoyable. I love the characters and the dynamics in this book.
