review 1: I love this series. I love the idea of it, the new universe, love, love, love it. That being said, these books need to be longer. As I wrote on my review of the first book, the story suffers due to its shorter length. So much happens in so little time that I feel disconnected from the story. I feel like I got just the bare bones of the story, not the fleshed out version I wanted. There are all these conspiracies and plot twists and by the end of the book, I was left feeling lost, like I missed a few chapters. The characters were barely fleshed out and seemed more one-dimensional to me and by the end of the book, I was wondering; why does all this happen? Is there a point to this? It started feeling like the author was only throwing in gratuitous scenes and adventures to ma... moreke the book seem cooler. Big stuff that seemed like a huge obstacle? Resolved in 4 or 5 pages. Big conspiracy? We find the leader and imprison him and that solves everything. Now don't get me wrong, I love Amber Kell and her books, but I felt like this one wasn't up to par with others. And if she did like what she did with the Moon Pack series, where each book has a new couple but still mentions previous couples and has a running problem/solution, maybe it would work better. But even then, this series isn't entirely set up to work like that. I would love to see her expand this book and take more time to set scenes up and to resolve them. I wish we could get a better look at the characters, their back stories, how they think, etc. This book could have been a 4 or 5 star book but it didn't deliver. I hope that the third book is better because I do love this series. It's innovative, different, and fun. I would recommend this to anyone who thinks they would like it or to any Amber fans because while it's not the best, it's still a fun short read.
review 2: This book just didn't work for me. Unlike the other reviewers, I found the style mediocre at best, aside from Orlin the characters were one-dimensional, and the story was contrived. I liked that Orlin wasn't the typical damsell-in-distress, but the rest was just flat. The bad guys are stupid (and ugly), the good guys are gorgeous (some of them are stupid, too, but that's not my point). At one point I laughed out loud when SPOILER conveniently the whole royal family was murdered and Orin suddenly next in line for the throne ("anybody with a claim, go to the castle"). Sorry, no. less
