I'm going to start by saying what I said in the review for the first book in this series, it's not free of its writing errors. There are some mistakes that are really obvious and a little frustrating, but not to the point that you should quit reading. It's a beautifully written story and exactly the kind of story I love to read, she's kind of a chosen one but more than that she pulls herself up and proves that any powers she was born with were earned through suffering and hard work. It also helps that there's a super cute slow burn romance and enough plot twists to keep you guessing till the very end.
Science fiction, space operas specifically, tend to confuse me. There were moments like that in this book. Mostly because of all the names of the people and the planets and the magic that really can feel overwhelming. That being said, I think that the glossary at the end really helps. Also, even I don't understand a couple of things I think it's carried by the power of the relationships and the emotion behind it all. The fight scenes are also beautifully choreographed and written out.
All in all, great middle book to a trilogy. It didn't fall victim to that second book lag and it only made me want to read the next one more. There are a billion secrets to unearth and we've only just begun to scratch the surface.
