I started off not too into this book. And I think part of the problem was I had the hardest time remembering what had happened in the first book (The Gilded Cage). But once I refreshed my memory, I found myself completely hooked. The world James created is just so fascinating and disturbing (but in a really good way). And I love the complexities of the characters. I can't wait to read the next one when it comes out!

I really enjoyed the second book in this trilogy. We learnt more about the characters, the plot got more twisty and turny and I cannot wait to read the conclusion. I have high hopes!
