This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Better than the first one - but still only 3/5. Why? 1) Because the story and writing is just a little bit tooooooo simple (if I can tell what's coming it's gotta be simple). 2) Because Meghan spends most of the book in tears - man up for crying out loud!

At the end of the first book Meghan kept her bargain with Ash and went to the Unseelie Court, as this book starts she's been there for a while - treated terribly. She can't leave and is heartbroken at Ash's treatment of her (i.e he legs it from ...more

Meghan is at the Winter Court nursing her broken heart when the scepter is stolen and she decides to go after it (with some help of course). This time around there is a lot more teenage angst to deal with.

What could have been better:
* Love triangles suck, somehow they are even more angsty in YA novels.
* Meghan was a doormat for most of this book.

Struggled whether this was a 3.5 or 4 star book. I liked it and all my favorite characters were back. I just don't feel the heat between Meghan and Ash.

Likes:
* Grimalkin - awesome as expected
* Ash - a little colder than expected, but understandably
* Sage - had potential for being likeable
