The book picks up a bit after the events of crimson moth, and while I first sounding myself wishing I’d re-read book one, the author did a nice job recapping the important bits and I soon caught on, and felt immediately invested. 
It’s a fun, fast, dynamic book and I enjoyed the dual pov and all of the travel and exciting plot in the sequel. Some points I found myself feeling like the action was a little repetitive, but I felt like she wrapped the story up nicely overall and gave the characters and world the ending it deserved. 
It was a really fun duology, and I’d definitely recommend it and probably do a re-read some day! 
To anyone reading this review, I’d say if you enjoyed book 1, you’ll enjoy book 2 just as much! 

Thanks so much NetGalley and Wednesdays book for the arc.
