If you didn't know, Cast in Firelight was one of my favorite reads last year. Thus, I have been eagerly anticipating this one ever since I heard about it.
Overall, it was a decent novel, but there were just a few aspects that I did not like.
Jatin and Adraa did not spend any time together in this book. Most of it was due to the plot, but since they were never together, there was no growth between them.
Secondly, this book is nonstop action. While some may prefer that, I just wished for a little down-time for the characters. Their exhaustion was very noticeable.
I almost forgot to mention, but that cover... :)
Yes, I am glad that I read this one but am not sure that I will read it again for some time. And on that note, I am thinking that the series will continue.

Content: kissing, some language, violence, death

I have been anticipating this book since I first heard about it back in May of 2019. I waited for months, the whole time worrying that I was getting overexcited. I was not. This book was even better than I ever imagined that it could be.
I really loved how the characters progressed. Their growth was incredible and also very believable.
All in all, I would highly recommend this one for both fantasy lovers and those who are new to the genre.

Rating: 5/5
Language: N/A
Romance: a kiss or two
Spiritual: N/A
Violence: a bit, never descriptive

Quotes:
"'And if I hat her? Or she hates me?' Maybe I should tell Father about our letters. 'Because she does hate me a bit. She's not avoiding me because she's shy.'"

"'She doesn't hate me. She hates Jatin, or at least the idea of him. Thinks he is arrogant and cold.'
'Where did she get that from?' he asks, deadpan, and raises and eyebrow in case I don't catch his meaning."
