Well, this book was interesting. I still enjoyed being able to follow this characters throughout this book, especially with the multi pov with how the story was told. However this book has definitely  surprised me as I definitley didn’t expect it. I didn’t want to put the book down as I wanted to see what was going to happen next. But it didn’t intrigue and gripped me as much as the first book did. I am intrigued to see what the next book has in stall.

This was a very interesting read. I was glad to pick up this book to continue following these characters. These characters were still even more gripping and interesting. I loved the storyline which we followed these characters with these characters. The storyline developed clearly and I didn’t want to stop reading the book. With the way the story developing with each chapter in which made me want to find out what happened next. The characters developed even further in this book, and they had to face many challenges. And with how the story developed and with the ending of the book I couldn’t believe the way it had ended. With this ending I definitely want to continue the series and read the next book.

Wow! I was first interested in this book after reading the blurb of this book had definitely made me intrigued and wanted to figure out or more like find out what was going to occur. And I am so glad that I have read this book and being able to follow Lyra through the many challenges that she had to face. With these challenges in which she had to face definitely developed as a character. And with this it brought a lot to the story. The writing style of this book I had really enjoyed. With everything in which happened within this book, I was completely intrigued and invested into the story. And especially with how the ending of this book occurred. I am excited to continue the series, and read the next book to be able to find out what would happen next.

It was the ending of the previous book, that had made me want to be able to pick up this book as soon as possible and I am so glad that I did. This book had definitely brought a lot to the series. I still loved the multiple pov, and the overall writing style which brought an amazing pacing to the book. The characters in this book still had so many challenges in which they had to face, and with everything that they had to go through kept their development coming. Malini and Priya are still two of my favourite characters from this series. There was events that occurred in this book that had completely shocked me as I hadn’t expected it. It was something about the whole ins and outs of this book, it really kept me glued to the story to a point I didn’t want to put it down. And I easily felt like the ending definitely made me very emotional because of the events of the book but also as this would be the last time following these characters.

I loved the book and how it gives you some answers to what may be going on however leaves you asking more question.
