Shanti is just amazing. Would've liked to see more of the boys. Marc was featured a bit though. Marc is adorable. And him with Ruisa. I'm shipping that. Ruisa man. She is as awesome as Shanti. She's younger but she's so brave and resilient. This book is as witty and entertaining as the last one. The snark is just perfect. Cayan and Shanti's relationship starts going somewhere too and it's nice to see them respect each other as equals. I also really love the women in this series. They're all so badass. Vulnerable - but badass. This book saw a real sense of equality between men and women. And it was really nice to see women being respected by men for their talents just as much as their bodies. It just goes to show a balance can be struck.
