This whole book is just TENSE.

Had my stomach in knots the entire time. Which should be expected after how the last book left off, but still. I don't really have much to say other than this book carried on the same energy as the first and dialed it up to eleven.

Tessa still isn't doing much as a character for me, although she was a bit more proactive in this book than in the last. I'm hoping, with how this one ended, that she'll have a bigger part to play in the last book. I'm looking forward to what she'll do now that she's at the end of her rope, so to speak.

Corrick was as interesting and heartbreaking as always. I hope it gets to a point where he eventually doesn't feel like he has to fight the entire world. I ended up liking Lochlan a bit more in this book since he got more screen time and more depth when they were on the boat.

Very much enjoyed Harristan's povs. I might be crazy but I think I'm sensing a little something something between him and Quint? I could be wrong but I would absolutely be down for that if it turns out true.

Sat and ready for book three!
