Plus, information in the book seemed to contradict itself. And it was so weird to have everyone in the book acting like their job was over but the problem still exists. We are left with a lot of unknowns with certain characters and even though one problem was solved, the entirety of the situation was not. I won’t go into any spoilers, but the plot just felt totally unresolved! There were so many moments where I was reading and just thinking to myself that we completely skipped over a large piece of information or things were left totally unresolved, but everyone acted like it was over. For one, the plot moved really fast and also seemed to completely skip over large plot points. One thing about this book though, and don’t hate me for saying this, is that it’s just not as good as Havenfall. It’s clear that the revelation of who her brother was is not only a game changer, but a big motivator for her to end the black market trading going on in Havenfall and around the universes. Maddie seemed to also change a lot from the few weeks that have passed. He seems like such a genuine person and I loved seeing him and Maddie interact. The ending for Havenfall had some loose strings, especially regarding the Silver Prince and Taya, but where to start? Well, for one, Marcus is back! I really wanted to have more time with him in the first book and I’m glad I finally get the chance.
