and soul—is Arrazi...

I
can say that I enjoyed reading this sequel than the first book although
I find the pacing a bit slow despite the alternate point of views but
that is one of the reasons that makes the book an interesting read. It
was kind of a downer reading this book because of what Cora was
experiencing (and the others as well especially Finn), more like
heartbreaking.
The
history background was interesting and it was good to finally found out
somethings that weren't mentioned from the last book but I probably got
a little overload with the information despite how the author made it
want to seem more interesting. Still it was very interesting. The
concept was unique.
One
think I also like about this book is that you could feel the emotions
of the characters as it is your own especially their struggles. Cora's
character made a great improvement than the last one although I wish she
did more.
Despite
how the author portrayed Giovanni and getting to like him, I'm more on
team Finn all the way. Even if Finn did not make a really good/wish
decision although you'll get to understand his reasons but still... I am
not or will ever be a fan of love triangles or quadrangles or whatever
exist today in these kind of romance themes (but there are a few of
exceptions *wags eyebrows*) I don't like it when there has to be
another person in the story when there should be no need for it.
Well,
even if I mentioned that, I can't help but read it. I can't wait for
the last book in the series. But I need more Finn and Cora.
