I grew up with a love of the written word. Writing is an art just like any other creative endeavor. Unlike painting with pastels, my words are my medium.

I adored everything about the first book of this series, but I felt as though the second managed to fall a bit short. It starts off in the present and then each chapter after the first alternates between the past and future. I thought Sherry Thomas did a good job alternating between the two without giving away too much information. I probably should have reread "The Burning Sky," but I was a bit too impatient. There were a couple things I couldn't recall from the first book, but it didn't take too long for me to remember.
Overall, I thought this book was somewhat stagnant compared to the first. It ended on quite the cliffhanger though, so I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series. I'm just bummed I have to wait so long for it to come out!
