Where to start with this one. I am honestly not sure how I plan to rate this book. On one side, I really enjoyed the story but at the same time, Hanna borderline the Mary Sue with the whole Chosen One trope. As it was, her character had already annoyed me from the first book and she continued to do so with this book.

I want to say her character grew but not entirely. There was a small bit of character development but it was not much to redeem her at all and the trope of the Chosen One just seemed to make her character even more annoying because she continuously repeated it like some sort of mantra instead of trying to become the one who could change the Prophecy of Three.

I loved Death in the first book but he flipped-flopped on his feelings for Hanna. When he retrieved her, he promised that he would never love her and in the next moment, it changes with a whole different scene in the library (one I was not prepared for lol). Still, his character was much better than Hanna's.

Final Thought:

I had expectations for this book and it really let me down. I do want to see how this book ends so I am going to read the third book when it comes out (the Hardback is out since January of this year and the Kindle/Ebook is due to be released in September). ( )
