The first book was absolutely perfect- and this one is, somehow, even moreso. The political intrigue was INCREDIBLE; there were plays here that caught me completely off guard and made my heart flutter at the sheer amount of thought & foreshadowing! So so good! And so so messed up!!

Impeccable dialogue and characters, as always- I just adore Damen and Laurent's relationship progression here so much. From hatred to tense allyship to hesitant friendship to the fragile care at the end here.... it's just impeccable ❤️ 
Truly such a joy, I'm literally buying book 3 this instant

The characters, relationships, and plot twists in this series are absolutely phenomenal. My jaw was on the floor several times. The best part is that all of the twists are foreshadowed and well earned. 
Also I want to break Laurent down into a primordial goo, put him through a centrifuge, study the resulting pellet under a microscope and do chromatography on the supernatant. I'm so normal about him.
