Pretty good, but...I really enjoyed the book. I like where the story went, I liked the twists and turns, most of them anyway, and I generally found the book very engaging.In my review of the previous book I said that it was an excellent mix of multiple books, just darker and more mature. The same holds true, but the balance isn't as good. There was too much Twilight and a noticeable increase in Game of Thrones.What I mean by that is that I felt there was too much emphasis on the love story. It's not the emphasis on the love story, it's how it was handled, and I felt that was too Twilight. There's a lot of inner dialogue and trust issues, and it just really seemed to drag on at certain points. There seemed to be a lot of needless infighting between our main love interests and it was very "meh".I also felt there was a lot more character killing which may have had increased amounts of heart-rending sadness attached to it. I kind of got used to the characters dying in the last book, but some of these were serious gut punches!I felt like there was some extra emphasis put on some of the side characters that never really evolved. I would have taken side character development over the turmoil in Violet's love life.My complaints aside, I still think it was a great book. There was some great history revealed, there were some surprise twists in the story, and I generally liked how everything went. Definitely recommend, would read again; the balance was just a little different from the first one, that's all.6
