Review:
Ahhh... And the saga continues! Seriously, after the first book in the series, it would be extremely hard to find a book that's even better, but this book was trailing closely in it's footsteps. Amazing characters, intricate plot, and... just... *restraining and quieting my inner fangirl here* it's so amazing!! Even though this is an outstanding series, I am simply at a loss of words, I love it so much. So, even though I don't really have much to say about this book in my review, if we had a fangirl-to-fangirl conversation about it, I'd probably gush about the book for, like, three hours. (Ok, maybe that's a teensy exaggeration) Please, please, READ THIS SERIES!!!
Things I Loved:
-Um... Like, everything! I loved everything about this book, and, yes, even though I did enjoy book one more (I think, it's a hard choice), this one complimented it wonderfully.
-Also, I loved the villains. No, no, don't get me wrong! I didn't like them as people, but I loved how they were written. They weren't at all phony, or in any way stereotypical, but so believable, and unlike any others I've encountered.
Things I Didn't Love:
-You know, I mean seriously, there wasn't anything I didn't like. Well, maybe there could have been an insane cliffhanger like in book 1, but other than that, I do not have any complaints.
In Conclusion: *cue excited happy dance* Can I read the sequel yet?! I need it now!
Recommended?: Yes!
