Part
of the Book that Caught My Attention:
Both title and cover
View
on the Cover: I love how the cover Violet
looks stronger and more stubborn than she did in the first cover. The way her dress
is arranged looks like a white rose.
View
on the Title: Since the first book ended up
being place, I assumed this was the same case but I won’t reveal that information
until you read this.
Pros:
- I thought this book was so much
better than the first book.
- Violet’s character becomes developed
a lot more as she is able to escape the Jewel and finds out what and who she
wants to fight for.
- Ash’s character is also
developed more and he becomes more lovable.
- There is a huge emphasis on
family, which is seen through Ash and Violet. All their actions are based
on how their families will be treated.
- I also love Garnet’s character.
When he was first introduced in the first novel, I was not a big fan of
him since he was disrespectful in all his encounters with the characters.
All his disrespectfulness is put into perspective in this one as his
character continues to develop.
Cons:
- I felt that Raven’s character
was not developed enough in this book. I understand that most of it she is
mentally damaged but once it got to a certain point in the novel Raven’s
character.
- The people in charge of getting
Violet out agitated me a bit because they try to get her to understand her
Auguries while she tries to find her purpose but the continue to treat her
as if she is incapable.
Critics'
Reviews:
“This fast-paced plot and
a surprise twist will make readers anxious for the next series entry. A
