OmgOmg that cliffhanger tho！！ What an awesome addition to Claire's story and her finally getting a few answers。 8 can't wait to see what else unfolds in this story in the next book。 OmgOmg that cliffhanger tho！！ What an awesome addition to Claire's story and her finally getting a few answers。 8 can't wait to see what else unfolds in this story in the next book。 。。。more

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one and I think it's because personally I've never cared much for politics。 So all this stuff about warring factions and fabricated history was not very interesting to me。 As this is down to personal taste， I didn't deduct stars for it。 But also I felt that Book 1 was unique -- it's rare to have an FMC with any kind of disability -- and that this uniqueness was lost in Book 2。 Unfortunately -- stop reading here if you haven't read Book 1 yet， because I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one and I think it's because personally I've

I felt that Book 1 was unique -- it's rare to have an FMC with any kind of disability -- and that this uniqueness was lost in Book 2。 Unfortunately -- stop reading here if you haven't read Book 1 yet， because it's a major spoiler for that book -- the author chose to have the FMC miraculously "healed" at the end of the book。 Something had bound her magic， but the bonds broke， and when they broke， she got her sight back。 I was really disappointed by this。 It would have been wonderful to have a badass blind protagonist save the realm。 So at the beginning of book 2， Claire is adjusting to having sight。 There are some moments of wonder and some disorientation， especially when she is training to fight （because she gets distracted by what she can see， and forgets to rely on her other senses as she used to） but at the same time， the adjustment also seems to happen too quickly and easily。 One moment she's looking into Everett's green eyes and marvelling how green they are， the next moment he's explaining the colours of the jewels in the hilts of the Elven and Fae daggers because， while she knows the words， she has never seen colours so she doesn't know the names for what she's seeing。 Well， then how does she know that Everett has green eyes？ It seems to me that being able to see now means she has to put names to everything -- you wouldn't know a chair if you saw it， only if you were to feel it with your hands。 But she doesn't appear to have difficulty knowing what is what or to fumble much， apart from some issues with depth perception。 This part of the story felt unrealistic。 I was also over how many times it was mentioned that her mates are protective and how many times she expressed worry for them and they for her。 It was a mutual worry fest and so repetitive。 And also the constant self-doubt and negative self talk （there's one time where she castigates herself and calls herself stupid for not realising she could use her magic in a simple way to help her do what she needs to do）。 I also disliked how she never really tells her mates that she's being guided by her magic， because she doesn't want to trigger their protectiveness or make them upset that she's doing these random， possibly dangerous things just because she has a feeling that it's what she should do。 She even thinks of ignoring or denying the urgings of her magic due to her protective feelings for her mates and not wanting them to get hurt。 As I said， this I don't want to get hurt refrain kept recurring over and over again and it got old fast。 Because of this， I felt she was rather wimpy and selfish cos she wasn't thinking about the good of the realm， but only about how she would feel if one of her mates got hurt。 I suppose this is natural， but come on， she has been told she is to be the Champion of the Realm and she suspects the Council is up to no good， that injustices were committed upon the Fae and the Elves。 But she keeps asking if she really wants to know the answers to the questions about her past and her powers and the reason why she is being hunted。 "We could all just turn back and stay in the Academy and be safe，" she thinks multiple times。 I felt impatient with her because I felt she wasn't committed to her own journey of discovery and identity and she kept wavering。 I don't blame her for having qualms， but I didn't like that she knows she's being hunted and that she needs answers， yet she considered aborting the mission， as if that would solve anything。 I suppose her fears for her mates' safety were only normal， but I like my heroines to have a bit more spine and determination rather than constantly wringing their hands and considering sticking their head into the sand。 Then there's the issue of not wanting to kill creatures that are attacking her！ She's all， "I don't want to take a life。" I feel like the author wanted to show that she is gentle and has compassion and conscience， but I just thought she was daft。 You're being attacked， it's either you die or the creature dies！ The situation is urgent， we don't have the luxury of trying to stay on a moral high horse here！ Let's also talk about how it's possible to recognise someone just because their EYES look exactly like someone else's eyes。 At least if you say person 2 is a splitting image of person 1， that makes a little more sense。 But the EYES？ Using "You have X's eyes" as a positive identification and never questioning or searching for farther proof？ Okay， it's a magical realm so maybe there are no DNA tests， but at least say person 2 has the same magic signature as person 1， or something！ And explain how magic signatures are unique， so they are trustworthy identifiers！ The story felt long and slow。 The unveiling of Claire's past didn't even surprise me because there had already been so much build-up with the fact that she has unusually strong magical abilities， she's been appointed a Champion of the Realm， she's a Fourth and a mate to one of the most powerful triads in the realm。。。 not to mention that she can basically do almost anything with her magic because she's so powerful， and quite a few times it's mentioned that she shouldn't have been able to do that or that very few people are able to do it， yet she did it effortlessly。 So as readers， we are primed to find out that she comes from a very unique， important， and powerful family， blah blah blah。 I will read the next book for closure but I can already see what is coming from a mile away。 I guess this is also a preference thing， wanting a fiestier FMC -- not necessarily badass; she could still be afraid but could nevertheless have told herself， "I will do this because I need to have answers。 I'm not going to give up till I discover more of who I am。 I need to find out who's after me and put a stop to that。" This， I did deduct a star for。 It's also personal taste， but， you know， Claire was much more interesting to me in Book 1 than in Book 2 due to this。 。。。more

Sunny Hart continues to bring freshness and compelling storytelling。 Her heroine has her issues， makes mistakes and is not indestructible， but in the capable hands of the author， these are virtues， not faults。 Not everything is neatly resolved but you will be very satisfied with the ending。 I promise！ Let's not forget Hart's ability to breathe life into a huge array of minor characters who just HAVE to have interesting back stories you would really love to know more about。 There are too many to Sunny Hart continues to bring freshness and compelling storytelling。 Her heroine has her issues， makes mistakes and is not indestructible， but in the capable hands of the author， these are virtues， not faults。 Not everything is neatly resolved but you will be very satisfied with the ending。 I promise！ Let's not forget Hart's ability to breathe life into a huge array of minor characters who just HAVE to have interesting back stories you would really love to know more about。 There are too many to list but the worlds inhabited by the peripheral cast just beg to be explored。 Hats off to you， Sunny！ Already looking forward to your next book。 。。。more
