Fun in the sense of pacing, adventure, and finding courage in love to overcome threat and danger. Has relevant themes of cruel zealots running around like thugs, mad king/queen/gods, and community banding together with found family. Sacrifice, stepping into power, and sexy. Read this out of order so getting first book right away to catch up on origins; might not need to, but don't want to miss any bits of the story, it's that good.

I am suuuper loving the ending and the storyline in this book! I read the first one 3 times and I am so excited for this story and am not disappointed at all. Pacing, cadence, characters that I love. I'm so happy with this. Happy to see that there will be a 3rd but not focusing on Sila & Lorel, they need the landing in a good place.

I had been waiting on this sequel for a while. Book 1 had such a buildup and then that cliffhanger left you in a lurch. It was like riding a rollercoaster as you slowly ascend that first big hill. Each slow notch up taking you higher, until you're hanging over the edge and then spiraling through that drop.
This book picks up on that curve out of the drop. It's all action at every turn, keeping you on edge with the darkness closing in. You think you know what's going to happen to Lorel and Sila, but then another dip in the road. I loved the addition of the new characters Sabian and Ysa, they brought a new viewpoint. Sila is the shadow mommy you didn't know you needed, but now can't live without. I can't wait for the next book to see the other viewpoint. I'm not going to give too much away, but if you liked book 1 then don't sleep on the sequel, when it's released.
Tropes: touch her and die, found family, forced proximity, morally grey.
