Loved this second instalment a lot more than the first one, and I am now officially hooked.
With the events taking place at the end of the first book, quite a few of Oli's secrets are now out in the open, so her relationship with her bonds is much improved. Nothing is perfect, of course, but now that her bonds finally, at least partly, understand her motivations for running away, they aren't as hard on her as they used to be, and she isn't as angry at the entire world as she was in Broken Bonds.
I liked that despite this being a reverse-harem it's not mindless sex the entire novel. She actually gets to know her bonds and developpe some trust with them. They are also finding solutions to avoid her having to bond right away, but she will bond with one of them by the end of the book, and I was really pleased with which one of them it was. The manner in which it took place was a bit frustrating, but hey, can't win them all!
I'm still very much in love with Gryphon and Gabe, Atlas still doesn't have all of my trust. North is getting better and Nox is as frustrating as ever.
I read the book in one day and jumped right away to book three (that cliffhanger OMG!!!), which I also read in only one day (review to come). It's safe to say, I'm all in.
