Ok, so if you have read my review of the first book of this series – you will know how much I loved it. However, I am not totally sold that I loved this sequel as much. Certainly there were things that I did like, I liked the way that changes were made and people adapted etc. I liked that Violet is really big on people making informed decisions and I like the frustratingly slow development of the relationship.
I continue to love the dragons – especially Violet’s dragon.
But I don’t know – I didn’t love the direction the book took – I didn’t love some of the impulsivity of the characters and I sure really really really did not love the ending. Will I read the third book? yes. Will I watch the movie that is meant to be being made? absolutely. But am I totally sold that this sequel is as good as the first? No!
Overall – probably like a 4.1 star book, and a reader feeling just a little bit miffed.
