This was a great second book. You definitely don’t have to read the first one to get into this one. There is some overlap with the previous protagonists but its fits in neatly with this book. There is an instant attraction between them and while I don’t normally like that it wasn’t too bad. The romance was pretty good and for most of the book it was a matter of there’s a will but not a way. It was sort of nice to have them know that they care and want each other but being held back by society and propriety. It was a real reason not to be together (in context of the book) that is truly overcome by love.
What stops me from rating this higher is the missing time spent on magic and the stutter. The magic portion was noticeably light and I wanted more. It was nice to learn more about the fae magic and the other kingdoms history as the first book was light on details. Despite this there is little usage of the magic. The stutter portion was great but there felt like not nearly enough time shown or implied for his speech to be improves so significantly. I loved their late-night lessons and wanted more of them.
