The romance between Lia Mara and Grey continued to be enjoyable, but as an individual, I felt Lia Mara was too passive of a character for me. While his character was still likable and complex in the first installment, his likability grew over the course of the series as well as the dynamics of his characters. Grey continued to shine as a character and I loved how his development grew even more in this story.

With a central villain tormenting Rhen, a war brewing between Syhl Shallow and Emberfall, familial and political discord, and relationships that need work, there were many plot lines to complete in this novel. The novel continued being told through the four perspectives of Rhen, Harper, Lia Mara, and Grey. While I wanted to hope for the best, I went in with lower expectations.
