I was so glad to have this book ready to dive into right after finishing the first one! The story had me so hooked that I couldn’t wait to see what more this series had to offer. After finishing this second installment, I can confidently say I’m craving even more—and I can’t wait for the next book to release.

The character development in this book is absolutely commendable. There’s something so satisfying about seeing a character’s hidden layers unfold. When you initially judge a character based on one side of their personality, only to later understand their deeper motivations, it makes the story all the more enriching.

I thoroughly enjoyed the exploration of the Sahlmsaran realm—it was beautifully vivid and immersive. The tension and banter between Sybilla and Krait were perfect, and watching their relationship grow was such a joy. Sybilla’s strength and determination made her an incredibly compelling character, and Krait? Brooding, grumpy, and the ultimate shadow daddy—he’s just irresistible!

How could I forget Ryn and Else? I adored them too, but Ryn—why??
