Until the Beginning

This sequel was definitely better than the first, with a more coherent plot, and more focus given to characterization. At the end of After the End, Juneau had administered the Rite to Miles, making him essentially immortal, and this book his characterization as well as the plot delves into what it means, where belief and science intersect to the magic of the Yara. Meanwhile, his and Juneau's relationship is gaining a solid ground, with them being more open towards one another and working towards the common goal of freeing her family from a compound in Texas. There were certain aspects of this which would be too spoiler-y to discuss, so let's just say that Juneau's wit and Miles' planning work well to help free them, while also work on what they want for their futures. I also liked how the generational cap of her people as well as the wedge driven in from their lies was played out realistically, without shoving it under the rug in the name of a happier ending. In all, it is a good sequel and a well-done finale.

When I saw the first book, I wasn't so sure. I always read the back and that's what caught my attention. So once I finished it I wanted to find the second one so bad. Im crying inside because I just finished and I know there won't be a third. If anyone like romance, adventure, magic and suspense I highly recommend this book. It will have u on the edge of your seat.

Very good page turner. I had a lot of fun with this one
