I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP). Like the first installment, there were many aspects in this book that I liked and some aspects that I find needs improvement.  Although I have to say, I did enjoy the 2nd book better than the first one.  First of all, I found that this book was faster paced.  This could be attributed to the main character's development of her powers and skills.  She was definitely a stronger character in this book.  I also enjoyed the love triangle between Anna, Eli, and Nyoka.  Although I did find that it was cut short.  I wish there was more banter between the 3 of them.  I enjoyed the plot as well.  There was more action, mystery and heart wrenching moments.  However, there was one area (when Anna was abandoned) where I wished that the secret was revealed closer to the end so that there was more buildup in terms of emotional angst.Similar to the first installment, the writing style is the main reason why it takes me a long time to read the book.  I found that the flow was still choppy and had a lot of description that I didn't find necessary.  In summary, this book was an enjoyable read.  The ending was great because it makes the readers want to read the next book.
