**Review written for an originally posted on my blog, Book Bliss.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 4 starsGeneral: Not as strong as the first book in the series this one was still an entertaining read but a little upsetting because characters did not behave how they were set up to be in the first novel as well as I feel a little cheated we did not see anything during the year. But other things are done wonderfully. The storyline didn’t stop and stick on one thing. It continued to progress and give us more and more information on both the world and the characters in it. The excitement with Dan really kept me page turning and I was so happy with it.Characters: Anna- Anna really was just a step of in terms of change. Still an entertaining and fun character but we see more behind the scenes. Her reactions in the first book seem less real in comparison to this one. Her strength as a character is tested and added too wonderfully as she faces the challenges in being Queen. I was quite pleased she made a choice in this book as well.Eli: I still love Eli but in this book he came across very different and I think my love for him is coming from the first of the series. He was a real ass in this book on top of everything else. At first I thought it might be because of the issue with the love triangle but then I began to think maybe we just hadn’t seen all there was of him in the first novel. All leading men have issues and I think this must be his.Nykoda- I left Nykoda out of my first review so people reading wouldn’t realize who was in the love triangle as it’s completely unadvertised in the plot. Nykoda was a strong character, but didn’t feel right in this book either. I can’ put my finger on why but he wasn’t as enjoyable as he was in the first novel.
