Wow. Though higher in page number than the first book, I believe this second book in the Daevabad trilogy read much faster and in a much more enthralling way. 

The character development is just so good. I felt so completely drawn into the storyline and into the lives of those included.

Similar to the first book, I’d say the last 25-30% of this book has the height of action, though I didn’t feel as the first 65-70% ever really dragged on. It was quite captivating, IMO.  

Very excited to read the last book!

Ce deuxième livre est aussi bien que le premier, il est devient même drôle. On ne s'ennuie pas à un seul moment, les 700 pages sont avalées sans aucun accrochage (on peut également féliciter la traductrice). Le monde est clarifié dans celui ci et on découvre de nouveaux aspects. 
Pour les personnages, alors que je les appréciais dans le précédent, iels deviennent carrément attachants. Le développement de Nahri est fabuleux. Elle se prend enfin en main. Il y a beaucoup de femmes présentes dans celui ci, ce qui manquait dans le premier. Ali est encore plus engagé dans sa lutte anti classe à Daveabad. Dara commence à utiliser son cerveau et son bon sens tout en restant un ennemi terrifiant. 
Hâte de lire la suite !

I didn't think it was possible but this book got even better than the first! I loved the further dive into the politics of this world, and the cliffhanger ending nearly killed me. And my love for Nahri only seems to grow!
