This book definitely explored Syndey and Adrian's relationship more. The ending killed me but I loved how everyone could see how hard Adrian was trying to impress her and spend time with her but Sydney was oblivious. I also love the contrast between this series and VA. Here we have the guy willing to risk everything and not care about the consequences (like Rose) and the girl being the cautious careful one (like Dimitri).
