Personal opinion on the book:

To be honest, this actually wasn't my favorite book - yet at the same time I couldn't stop thinking about it. Does anyone ever feel the same? As soon as I had finished the first book I NEEDED to read this one. But now that I have completed this book I feels as though I probably won't finish the series... I know that a LOT of people adore this series, but I am just not really feeling it. I felt as though the whole book Mare just made bad decisions and kind of messed things up. 

I LOVE her brother and Maven, Shade is such a great character and Maven was just the sassiest little prince EVER! In this book Shade was really under appreciated... 

Like when Mare just left Shade to get beat up by a gang of brutal fishermen, I just lost all respect for her! 

Basally, don't kill me for saying I didn't enjoy this book that much. I will probably follow the series - just so I know what happens with Maven, but Cal and Mare left me really disappointed. 

Star rating (out of 5):

This book was okay... but wasn't my favorite. So I would have to give it a star rating of 2.8/5 stars. 

Books in the series:

1. Red Queen
