"I received an ARC of this novel, so I purchased the first in the series and finished these both in about 2.5 days. I have to say that this second part of the series is my favorite, purely because the relationship changes between Medea and Nikolai. Not to dive into spoiler territory, but we do get to see their relationship expand from distrustful strangers and the author does a great job of making that change gradual instead of going from hostile strangers to best friends in a chapter, which seems to be the running theme that some authors fall in to these days. I love how the author shows that people aren’t just one thing or another and can be either wonderful or terrible and still have so many other facets to them that form these really complex individuals. I do have to admit that I was a little bored when following the other characters in this book, but it definitely picked up at the end and I’m curious to see where at least some of them go. I think the ending was a little abrupt, but it doesn’t take away from the overall too much. <br/>Medea needs a hug in every sense of the word, but please don’t. It would make her highly uncomfortable. <br/>"
