I sort of wish I had waited for the series to publish in its entirety first? Still, it's not going too badly so far (minus the lack of romance, compared to book one).<br /><br />Thank you, Carina!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-80219287563310997642017-01-20T15:28:26.819-05:002017-01-20T15:28:26.819-05:00No romance at all? :( Noooo.

Thinking that I should wait for the other books first, haha :) Anyway. Gorgeous review Alyssa. <3 I'm glad you liked this book; despite the no romance :D Yay. <3Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-44429402667243812792016-12-17T23:38:44.997-05:002016-12-17T23:38:44.997-05:00So much so!

Safi's story is the most boring of any of the plots in this book.

NOTHING from Safi and Merik. :/ And no scenes with Safi and Iseult. This book was frustrating! But I am sure that it's part of the process. One of the reasons why I usually hate sequels - they feel like fillers, and not usually great ones.<br /><br />Mixed feelings indeed! I'm considering rounding down. If you read this one, I hope you like it. <br /><br />Thank you, Cyn!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-35226709374414408312016-12-17T23:34:37.607-05:002016-12-17T23:34:37.607-05:00Oooo, the socks are definitely worth the preorder....Oooo, the socks are definitely worth the preorder. :D I think binge-reading the series is a great idea!

One of the reasons why I'm still going to rate this book so high (despite being really frustrated with many aspects of the book) was because of the development of Vivia... I like her a lot more. She's less of a villain to me now. <br /><br />It's deeply disappointing to see such a dearth of any kind of relationship, in this book. But I'm hoping the author turns things around in book three. I want to believe Merik and Safi are endgame (for that same reason, about the threads that Iseult saw) BUT... you haven't read this one! You'll know what I mean, once you read it. Honestly, binge-reading the rest of the series is so smart. Five books? That's a lot!<br /><br />You're welcome, and thank YOU! <3Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-16785754792340256312016-12-17T23:22:44.398-05:002016-12-17T23:22:44.398-05:00YES!

And by extension, you could say that Safi/Merik have a friendship (a relationship, but it's also a friendship). Nothing there either. I'm very disappointed.<br /><br />I think it's better to wait! I partially wish I had. Of course, I had no idea that the author would go in this direction, so I can't really regret reading this book? But still.

And I hope she takes it easier on Merik. Gosh, poor Merik!
