This was a really enjoyable second installment of this series. There were so many places where i just couldn't put the book down because i was on the edge of my seat. I do just feel like there was a kind of lull before the final fight and the ending of the book took a long time however i do understand this as we are ending eriks and livias story and moving on to the next person. Rorik was so funny with erik, i loved it. Cant wait for the next book and i relly hope arion doesnt come back to haunt skadi
