It has taken me a few days to digest all that happened in this book. I think I went through just about every emotion. I loved seeing the switch of character groups as they traveled across the world. Getting a chance to meet folks in new cities as well as getting a better understanding of the history of the world was absolutely fantastic. I really enjoy the different ways magic is explored and used by different characters.

This one was definitely spicier than the first! I found myself flying through the pages on the edge of my seat. There were new monsters, new armies, and countless new characters that I still can’t decide if I trust or not.

We spend most of the book with our two main characters at ages 17 & 21, which I often forget with how much they have both survived. The banter between characters helped me stay so immersed as they try to understand each other during the toughest of circumstances.

I am both not ready and overly excited to get my hands on the next book in this series! ( )
