Technically, for me this is just under a five-star read, but close enough. Glad I already have the third book with these main characters. This does not cliffhang. But the epilogue definitely sets up the inciting incident for #6.
I know little about Taavi's culture, but in this story it felt genuine. Also, Taavi is a delight, and Hart is a lucky, lucky elf considering how often he screws up. The worldbuilding continues to be interesting, too. The author continues to use too many words and continues to over-explain. But the story is good, so I care less about that, where in the first book it was just too much on top of less interesting characters. Ward and Doc are better as backup.

I love this author. Honestly, they could write anything and I'd read it, but I was somewhat disappointed in this book. In the first three I honestly forgot we didn't get Mason's perspective. That's how well I understood him and how involved he was in the story. After two books I feel I have a better grasp of who Rayn and Jackson are than I do Taavi. Which I'm sad about, because he's obviously a fantastic guy. I want to know him as well as I do Ward, Mason, and Hart. So I'm really putting a lot of pressure on their third book. lol Which, of course, I can't wait for! And don't get me started on my excitement for Rayn's story.
