So there was this famous love triangle, America does not know what to think, do not know where else to balance her heart, changed his mind and constantly opinion and carries us in his doubts with ease.
These hesitations could annoy but they are legitimate. The more the game progresses, the more America learns about his country and what it would mean to become the wife of Maxon. It is no longer between two young boys she should choose, but between love for her soulmate, who understands better than anyone, and people who need a queen who is fighting for him.
It is an America more combative in this second volume. She discovers the cruelty and bad sides of the crown, and she'll rebel. She can not accept certain things, at the risk of losing everything, and boy, I loved to see her rebel.
The action is more present with the Renegades that attack, plunging us further into the conflict. Moreover, we learned some interesting things and I'm looking forward to reading volume 3 just for that. I think we'll have some wonderful surprises.
Suddenly, the "princess bling bling" side is just put aside, making the story a little darker, and much more!
The author takes us with astonishing ease in a whirlwind of emotions. She knows how to find the words to move us and touch us. The heart that beats, to tears, disgust and anger ... you go through almost everything and we are already at the end, his throat, and especially frustrated to have to wait a year to read more.
In short, a second volume to the height of the first, if not better, who conquered me from beginning to end!
A favorite for a just great saga!
