Review:

I have dreaded this review for a while now.

I had such high hopes for this book because the second book was actually better than the first.

And mostly everyone knows how I hated the first.

I think this book had so much potential that just went to waste.

If you follow me on instagram you know that I call the book The Queen of Nothing.

Thats what happens here…..nothing.

The end is painfully predictable and it feels like the author lost interest in the story.

Its especially frustrating since the second book had such a good ending.

The redeemable feature here is really our main guy Cardan. He honestly doesn’t fit in this series.

The books are very juvenile and frustratingly dull.

However, Cardan is a very dynamic and interesting character.

I wish she would’ve developed his character a little better because he was the whole reason I kept reading the series.

Anyways! Thats all from me! 

For those of you that have read the series, what did you think?

Do you feel my frustrations or did you love this book?
