“Love isn’t a limited resource. There’s boundless capacity for it within us all. Just because someone takes yours and is careless with it doesn’t mean you should stop offering.”
 
This sequel did not disappoint, it already has a plus point for giving the recap of the 1st book at the beginning. It’s very helpful for readers to refresh their memories of what happened previously, I wish all sequels have this! 
 
The plot started right after the ending of the 1st book and there’s so many things happening in this book like discovering Cassandra’s power, Tristan’s background story, the mystery of the necklace whereabout and on top of that a new set of characters are also added here. 
It was written really well that I didn’t feel overwhelm with all these much going on, in fact I really enjoy my time going through all of them. 
 
The story is told from multiple POVs, we finally got to see the story develop through Xenia and Cael’s POVs. I can feel the spark between them ever since the 1st book and now we got to see their chemistry and feelings even closer! I absolutely adore them both and Cael deserved so much more! I wish I could hug the guy…! 
 
I also love the bantering and spicy scenes between Cassandra and Tristan. They can finally let their relationship grow into something more, especially now that theirs is not as off limit as before. 
 
The last few chapters are quite intense, it had me sitting upright the whole time because of the unexpected twists that keeps coming! 
Moreover, it also ends with a HUGE CLIFF-HANGER once again…. I wish book 3 is already out so I can continue right away! 
 
Overall, this is a great addition to the series. It’s highly enjoyable, entertaining and recommended for fantasy romance readers! 
The plot is progressing with more secrets getting revealed which makes the stake is getting higher! 
I am REALLY looking forward to read the next book!! 
 
Thank you to Book of Matches Media and author for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
