I was hooked enough with the first book to start immediately the second, and let me tell you: we'll need to wait for the third book to get the pay-off.
The second book of the series is still full of pinning and angst. We get a bit more of the beautiful world Sylvia has crafted, and a little more knowledge of what it is happening.
The story is woven in a way we keep being uncertain about whom is on each side. There are two persons who are clearly part of the bad guys, but I cannot tell regarding the rest of the troldes.
As the story progresses, I wish a lot of things didn't happened, and I don't feel they added much to the story. We could have had a forbidden romance without a lot of what happened on the first book, which might be triggering to a lot of people.
The fantasy side is quite interesting, and because of that, I wish there was a greater balance between action and romance.
The last 30% of the book were quite exciting, and the ending left me curious enough to want to wait for the third book. Also, I need to see the pay-off to recover from the anxiety these characters are causing me.
