I finished this book the same day I bought it. I thought, like the first book, Morgan's writing was interesting and the flashbacks were a little more descriptive than the last book. I think I actually got more irritated with this one than I had with the first. For starters, the romance wasn't exactly built well, even if it was just leading off from the first book. Although I don't base a review on the romance aspect, it does eventually come into it. I got really annoyed with the amount of flashbacks in the book, each character's few pages were mainly taken up on un-needed flashbacks. I also found that I wanted more explanations than I got and a better storyline to go with it. I was confused sometimes between the characters, as some aren't described at all. I wanted more descriptions! The flashbacks? A fine amount of detail. The characters? Not merely enough. Come on Morgan, give us something legendary. I think that people who read the first book should definitely read this one after that cliff hanger, but be prepared for another at the end of this one. If you haven't read the books and want to start with this one, I really recommend the first, otherwise you will get really confused.

Oh my Bellarke!
