This book was such a let down compared to book 1. Violet, girl, you gotta pull yourself together. Seriously. You chose Xaden. He told you he was going to keep things from you, he told you there would always be secrets, but you still decided to date him. STOP complaining about the secrets he is keeping from you!! Also Xaden and his bs of “I can’t tell her I love her right now because its bad timing, even though I secretly know she is insecure in our relationship and me saying it would mean so much to her, Im just gonna lock that away until the ~timing is right~.” Dude, you are in a war, the timing won’t be right. 

I liked book 1 so much better. If book 3 goes through the same miscommunication/ lack of communication and all the drama between Violet and Xaden I feel like I might have to DNF this series. Book 2 was written too fast and I would rather RY take her time and do it right then rush through it... Keeping my fingers crossed for book 3.
