I enjoyed this one much more than Prince of Wolves. It was faster paced as the action starts in the very beginning. It was a little disorienting at first, since the POV randomly jumped around in the first third, but it smoothed out as soon as all of the major players were together. The plot was also better, and there were actually some scenes where I caught myself holding my breath. Not because they were particularly suspenseful, but just because of the awfulness of the situation.
This second book also introduces a new blossoming relationship: Jen and Decebel. Jen has been a source of much hilarity and annoyance, but she's really growing on me. The way she constantly provoked Dec had me smiling, especially when he had no idea how to respond to her. She also had some more vulnerable scenes near the end that show she's not just a horny teenager with no filter between her brain and mouth. I'm definitely look forward to seeing more of her in the next book.
While I did enjoy this one more, it seems like this series as a whole could use more editing. The dialogue wasn't quite as bad as the first, but there are a lot of typos and choppy transitions. Since there was a slight improve between this book and the last, I hope that trend continues.
