Do not read this review unless you have read the first book!
Just like with Beaty’s previous book in the series, this story was also a slow burn. SPOILERS-ish! I was not a fan of Sage and Alex fighting so much in the beginning. I was looking forward to seeing them happy but didn’t get a taste of that at all. I also was not a fan of them not being together for nearly the entire book. It was just not at all what I was expecting, which was kind of a bummer, but it did end up making a good overall story. I was really tempted to rate this one at 4 stars but I rated it at 5 because even though it didn’t match my expectations, it was still a novel that successfully transported me to another world, made me feel for the characters and stay up past my bed time. If you enjoyed the first book, definitely read the second because this one reads much the same but is a completely surprising storyline that is very different than the first.
