This book reminded me of how I felt for the first half of Heir of Fire, or during Kingdom of Ash. Our cast is split up from the beginning, and that made it hard to be motivated to read the story. Plus, we’re introduced to an entirely new set of characters, seemingly out of nowhere. 

However, once I was hooked, I was hooked. 

reading about Tisaanah’s and Max’s experience in Zeryth’s war was what I thought the entire book would be about. Boy was I WRONG. the introduction of Aefe and the entire Fey storyline was intriguing and confusing and made no sense until the 80% mark but when it DID, it all fucking clicked. Also, Caduan being ALIVE??? Ishqa’s betrayal??? There were so many times in the last 25% of this book where my jaw was on the floor. 

Also - Nura? Yeah, FUCK her. I felt so much sympathy for her during her POV chapter but that all fucking shattered when I realized what she did to Max. What she said about Max during his trial. Where she put him. That bitch is INSANE. 

The entire world is about to feel Tisaanah’s wrath and I am so ready for it.

BROO. I don’t think I can put into words what I’m feeling rn. I absolutely loved it. The writing was brilliant, her use of pov’s to unfold the plot. Also AEFE, MY HEARTTT. I don’t think I’ve ever read better written villians before, I have an ongoing internal war that I don’t see an end to.
