Book two picks up where book one left off. Marlow has witnesses the killing of one of the Canaanite goddesses. Azrames and Caliban have been taken prisoner and Marlow and Fauna are left to make a plan to break them free. Along the way Marlow will learn more about herself and starts to wonder if maybe Fauna isn't who she says she is.
 Piper has done an absolutely incredible job (once again). I can honestly say book two is even better than book one. I forced myself to read slower than I normally do so I could really draw it out and take in the entire plot. The last quarter or so I was unable to stop as it was just insane and I absolutely did not guess the big reveals before they were laid out.
 I really have to take time to once again say how well done Pipers research is. As a religious studies scholar how she handles each of the pantheons is just outstanding. I really appreciate the care that very clearly went into this part of writing. 
 I'm basically foaming at the mouth for book three and book two isn't even published yet. Which brings me to say a HUGE thank you to Bloom and Netgalley for sending this ARC my way. I can't believe I'm lucky enough to get the experience of advance reading for one of my favorite authors.
