I loved seeing Penryn struggle with her family loyalties – especially when she learns more about what Paige has become and meets someone who was responsible for her current state! Honestly, I didn’t miss the romance at all (though we did get a bit toward the end!). And Paige’s behavior scares her more than anything – sometimes it’s hard for Penryn to know if her baby sister is even in there. She wants to feel the same as she always has toward her sister, but she finds it nearly impossible to even look at her, with her patchwork stitched up skin and razor teeth. Now that Paige has been turned into a monster of sorts, Penryn truly struggles. We saw Penryn’s struggle with her mentally ill mother in the first book, but her relationship with her little sister was solid. That might disappoint some people, but I felt like this focus of family was just what the series needed. This second book wasn’t what I expected (in a good way) because it focused on the relationship between Penryn and her sister Paige, barely touching on the romance with Raffe. Penryn Young Raphael 'Raffe' (Penryn & the End of Days) The Watchers Tweedle Twins Adventure & Romance Road Trips Fluff post-eod Worldbuilding Light Angst Their pig farm is going to have to wait as Raffe follows Penryn around the country in an attempt to mend relations with the unknown. I’m so glad that I picked this series back up! I really enjoyed the first book, but for some reason I didn’t ever get back to it.
