“I had long ago stopped believing in the gods. I already lived my life under the control of so many mortal men— it brought me no comfort to think of immortal ones pulling the strings, too.”

The beginning of Max and Tisaanah’s storyline felt dragged and repetitive. Things were happening, yet they were also not. I hope that makes sense. I did like that it’s now more political than the first book. Tisaanah and Max struggled a lot in this book and I feel so bad for them. I love how strong their relationship was and they would literally die for each other.

Aefe’s POV was a welcome addition for me. Aefe’s storyline and its connection to Tisaanah’s and Max was something I really enjoyed. It was also interesting to see how the Fey were like in this world. I hope there’ll be more information about them in the next book.

Overall, this book was okay. I found some parts boring but there were also parts that I enjoyed. Will I be reading the next book? Yes, but not immediately. It’s 700+ pages and with my experience with this one, I’m not eager to jump into it yet. That ending was hella crazy though.

This book stressed me out. It was so intense at the end, I gave myself a tension headache from grinding my teeth. As far as I’m concerned, Nura is unredeemable. And poor Max. Gah. I think the final book is going to be a doozy.

A great book in the trilogy. The third POV added is super mysterious throughout the book that really brings the story together at the end.

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.

“You make me selfish. You make me want. And nothing has ever been enough, except for you.”
 
Wow this series gets even better with this sequel! 
Plot twist upon plot twist throughout the story keeps surprising me and lots of battle scene with epic magic power display from Tisaanah and Max are magnificent! 
 
The plot started right after the ending of the first book, after the war at Threll now Max and Tisaanah also have to fight battles in Aran. 
The writing style is just as beautiful as the first book. The world building is also expanding, exploring the new Fae territory with different magic and politics to know about. 
 
The new POV addition is very intriguing, it gives the readers more insights to understand more about one of the characters in this book. The twist at the end about the new POV really surprised me even though I already had my suspicion in the middle of the story.   
 
As much as I love this book, the pacing becomes slower in some parts of the story compare to the first book.  
 
Overall, this is a great addition to the series. The twists and cliff-hanger at the end were totally unexpected. This sequel  gets even darker and more heart-breaking than the first book. I can’t wait to read the third book to see the happy ending these characters deserves!
