Wow! A lot of really huge things just happened, and the ending left me with an ache in my heart.
Pro: Blake packed this one with lots of surprises that were real game changers. The physical and mental battles being waged are quite intense.
Pro: The queen I named as my favorite in order to get this ARC at BookCon is still my favorite after this book. In fact, I like her even more after this book.
Pro: I loved that Blake gave her supporting characters meaty storylines. They are fully realized and never feel like afterthoughts.
Con: I am still sort of on the outs with Joseph. Sorry.
Pro: This drama escalates quickly as the three queens must deal with the fallout from their last family get together, and we get a lot of clarification on what really happened at the end of the last book.
Con: The next book doesn't come out until May 2018, and I sort of need some answers right now!
Pro: We get a little peek into the early years our queens shared together, and we actually see some sisterly bonding going on. This really made me like another queen more than I previously had.
Pro: Alliances are muddied and backroom deals are made, as the politics in this one gets turned up a notch. There are many "oh no she didn't" moments, which kept me on the edge of my seat.
Overall: A fantastic sequel with lots of twists and turns, which left me with heartache and wanting more.
