Overall, Toxic Heart was not as good as the first book in the series. The ending was definitely different than I expected, and I may still read the next book just to find out how it all ends. The whole book was basically Hunter telling Aria to stay put and do nothing and Aria going out and doing what she wants instead. The story as a whole was a bit dragged out, with Aria basically searching the city for the heart of her dead mystic friend for much of the book.
I was glad that she finally started learning to fight though, instead of relying on everyone else to save her all the time.
She wants the city to reunite and everyone to live in peace and harmony, which is all well and good but more than a little bit impossible. She seemed even more naive in this book than in the first, and kept putting herself in obviously dangerous situations and then is shocked when her life is threatened. Basically, he became extremely unlikable.Īria herself became kind of annoying also. He kept pushing Aria away and doing things that the old Hunter never would’ve even considered in order to win the rebellion. Hunter was distant and cold and had a completely different personality than in the first book. The romance between Aria and Hunter, which basically drove the entire story of the first book, completely died in this book. However, it seems that this book fell into the sophomore slump. Mystic City was a really unique story so I was looking forward to reading this sequel. Aria believes that he can still be the leader they need, and she tries to reunite the city rather than cause more destruction.
When she is forced to return to the city and Hunter, she realizes that the Hunter she fell in love with has changed. Aria is growing more and more restless because she misses her boyfriend and feels like she is not helping anyone by hiding out. Since Aria and Hunter started a rebellion in Mystic City, Aria has been in hiding outside the city while Hunter has been underground in the city leading the rebels.
