Not a huge fan of this cover. It's a little TOO busy in my opinion. I much prefer the cover for book one.
After I finished book one (The Progeny) last year I wanted to cry over the cliffhanger we were left with. Now finally a year later we have book two. And I LOVED it. Not as much as book one, but it was still a phenomenal follow-up (conclusion??) to this series.
Again we have the same fantastic writing. Crazy breakneck pace (more about this in a minute). Twists and turns. Great main characters and an excellent array of secondary characters. So what not 5-Stars? This one had a little less “meat” if you will. The pace was SO fast it was RUN RUN RUN for the entire book. I missed the history and background the first book had. Everything from the characters, the history, even the romance between Audra and Luka seemed to take a backseat to the action. That certainly wasn't a bad thing per se, just made this one slightly less preferable to the first.
That said this one was still a fabulous read. I am not sure if there will be more in this series. I hope so. We are saved from a crazy cliffy, but it still felt like there was more story yet to be told as there were a few loose ends still flapping in the wind. All in all two thumbs up from your truly!
