Lady Zera is immortal and as special as a heartless can be. I want to know everything but I don’t want it to end.īeing heartless means the place where there should be a beat is missing its instrument. This series has me hanging onto every single word. Huge thank you to the Entangled Publishing for providing me with a copy to read and review!

I received a free ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I'll probably still give the third book a shot since this one sort of ends abruptly and I'm curious how it will all wrap up. But it's most of the in-between that did not really do it for me. In terms of overall world building and action, the book did pretty well. Yorl was the only part of Varia's plan I liked because his interactions with Zera were amusing and brought out my favorite parts of our heroine's humor. She bores me and her manipulations of Zera had me hating her. Like, why would he not make that clear to her? It would have saved so much time and frustration.Īnother thing that dragged this book for me? Varia.

What did not make sense was why Lucien behaved as though he was icing her out only for it to be revealed he was fighting for her all along. Zera pretending to feel nothing for Lucien due to her own misguided notion that he could do better was annoying but relatively understandable. Lucien and Zera's scenes were somewhat few and even when we did get any they felt off somehow. Which makes some of the later reveals feel unearned and contradictory.

And you know what? That's honest to god true. We kept getting reminded that she has really only known them for all of two weeks which, as she constantly points out, is not enough to really know anyone. She constantly had the same internal argument about trusting Lucien and her friends. I still like Zera, but while I understood why she felt the need to be mistrustful and depend on herself everything started feeling repetitive. This book seriously suffered from middle book syndrome. Let me start off by saying, I’m annoyed with myself for not properly reviewing the first book because apparently I loved it? Whereas this one kind of annoyed me a lot of the time.
