I could've done with a lot less relationship drama. Too many love interests, too much angst.
But, the rest of the book was great. Rose was still kickass. She was determined and headstrong but there was a lot of growing up portrayed. Particularly in regards to her mother. It was obvious to see that they are very similar people and that was the cause of a lot of their conflict. It was nice to see how that relationship developed and how they came to a bit of understanding of each other. The same could be said of Mia, who comes a long way in this book. Although bitchy, the events of this book change her - she goes through a lot but manages to find her way out the other side of her challenges.
I still love Dimitri. Although he's not exempt from having some stupid moments in this either. There was less of Lissa and Rose friendship - having been on their own for so long and younger when Lissa had her last boyfriend, they seem to be having issues problems navigating how to be friends and manage a relationship. Which to be fair, is hard for anyone. I didn't love that Lissa seems to forget Rose, even if she doesn't mean to. I would've liked to see a heart to heart between them and hopefully that will occur in the next book.
The action was fast paced and riveting and I flew through the remaining pages. This is a really fun series.
