I liked this book but it was not as exciting as the first. I am enjoying the adventure Emilia and Jacob are on, but it is not as fleshed out as it could be. Like I said with this first book, this story would be better if it took its time. Everything happens quickly and it's always one thing directly after another. Also, even when we are reading Jacob's perspective, he never feels anything. No emotions besides “protect Emilia”, he doesn't need to sleep or eat, he barely feels pain, and none of that feels realistic. Emilia's emotions/physical feelings are described in more detail which makes her more fleshed out as a character and as a person than Jacob. I may not be the biggest fan of Emilia's character because she can be a bit annoying at times but at least she is three-dimensional. Jacob's entire everything is centered around Emilia. It is not healthy and it is not the best for character development.
