I wonder why... I kind of skimmed your review because I have yet to pick up my copy of the first book and didn't want to spoil myself for anything! But I'm glad the secondary characters are fleshed out. I hate it when they seem like cardboard cut outs only here to have a conversation with the MC when they need one. <br /><br />So glad you liked this one, Kell! If there's a next book I hope you like it as much :)Chiara @ Books for a Delicate Eternityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04181153932836441611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-90178853154917720682018-08-16T23:03:05.241+10:002018-08-16T23:03:05.241+10:00You'll love the series Lara, such a wonderful ...You'll love the series Lara, such a wonderful group of strong female characters.
