Review: Much better than the first in the series

I was pleasantly surprised by how much more I enjoyed this installment than the previous one.  I was engaged and interested all the way through. Part of this may have been because not as much background was needed (since it was the second book) or maybe I just skimmed those parts.Primarily, I found the relationship between Dragos and Mina to be more satisfying than the previous book. More time was spent developing each of those characters individually. There still wasn't much time spent on the development of their relationship because the author played the mated/fated card.I still find that the vast array of magical beings tends to overwhelm the story a bit. The author has thrown in every magical being she could think of and all the descriptions of their appearances and powers drags the story down in places.
