I wasn't sure I would continue this book after the first one, but this is one of the rare situations where I think the sequel is better than the first. The way this book had me investing in the political system and the ethics of war has never happened for me before lol. Main characters also started feeling significantly more dimensional in this book.

absolutely crying over the fact Caduan didn’t actually die and he went back for Aefe!!!! And now she’s an entire living being again which is crazy. I was really hoping for a Nura redemption arc but clearly she is the main villain. Max got the absolute dogshit end of the stick so I’m interested see how this plays out. Felt kind of like an idiot not realizing sooner that Reshaye and Aefe are the same person. I didn’t realize Aefe’s timeline was taking place years prior so when it was revealed it was like everything clicked for me.

⭐ 5/5
🌶️ 2/5
I'm not sure how to write a review without spoilers since this is book 2 of a trilogy, but I will say that I loved book 1 and book 2 held up really well too. 

📝 As in book 1, the characters and world building in book 2 continue to be excellent, the plot is pretty action packed and goes to both expected and unexpected places. And of course, since this is book 2 of 3 in a fantasy series, we don't get a HEA, but rather conclude on a bunch of unresolved conflict.

🎧 The audiobook actors are the same as book 1 and are still very good with varying accents/voices for the different characters/regions/classes.

🌶️ Spice level is pretty low. We get a couple intimate scenes, but this is primarily a fantasy book with romantic plotlines, rather than a romantasy.

“You were the one who wanted to save the world,” he said, quietly. “I just wanted to save you.”

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.

During part 1, i didnt care about Aefe’s story and during part 2, i didnt care about Max and Tisaanah’s story so it definitely lulled in places for me
