** spoiler alert ** First off big thank you to S. Jae-Jones, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for hooking a girl up with an eARC and in return, they’ll be getting an honest review.

Things I enjoyed: Zhara and Han always. They are just so stinking cute. The sass of Sajah reminds me so much of Luna for the OG Sailor Moon and it makes me smile. Overall, the story continues to progress and paces in a way that I expect more action in the next installment. And I’ll definitely be a continued fan / reader.

Things that did not resonate with me: overall Ami as a character felt flat. She just wasn’t compelling and did not feel like a great addition to the Guardians of the Dawn. And I’m not going to sugar coat it, but this book had strong sophomore book syndrome. A bit long and also slower than expected.

Final rating from me is: 3 out of 5 stars.

Final thoughts: do I love the concept and the character of Zhara, heck yes. Am I excited to see how this moves into the next stages of the plot, you can bet your bottom dollar. Did I wish Ami was more exciting and had more character development, yes. Overall, still a great story and I’m going to continue with this one. But I need to see more character development and also the flow needs to be consistent
