However, neither of them ever really discuss these things with each other, and no one else is enlisted to help Selene scour the texts for the information she needs. We know that off page, Damien is making plans to stop the Empire and that Selene is reading ancient texts about the house gifts. Which is a relationship I loved, but I wish that she had done more outside of that. While she does take some steps toward her goal, most of the story revolved around her relationship with Damien. Whereas before it was because she was blindly following her mother's orders in the beginning of the book, this time it was because I felt like her quest for answers held no sense of urgency. As with the last, I still found Selene to be a difficult character to relate with. Unfortunately, the issues I had with the first book are still present in this one. I did not like this book as much as I had hoped.
