While I did not like one aspect of the book (KELL AND LILA SHOULD REMAIN FRIENDS OKAY) I really enjoyed the new characters it introduced and the two new kingdoms that we got to know through the games. I knew Holland would come back and it was quite interesting to see how he did and what it cost him. Of course, the end left me a bit shook and anxious to read the third book, which luckily I was able to do right away. I don't think this book suffers as some sequels do as it continued the story very well while also adding onto it. I can't wait to finish the series!
