My heart is swelling!

I must admit I was afraid at first to find out the sequel was written in first person rather than third like the Midnight Lie, but I was pleasantly surprised. The dwelve into both Sid and Nirrim's thoughts and turmoils—as well as the storytelling of the God of Lies—was absolutely marvelous. Sure, sometimes it felt as if there was no "true" plot to follow, but I did not mind one bit about it. The characters and their stories, the threads that weave their lives—it was rich and fantastical, full of grief and love and desperation. I cannot find the words to describe it any better. I could stay in this world for all of entirety!

i liked book 1 much better than this. this really felt like a sequel to the winner's curse rather than a sequel to the midnight lie.

anyway all i care about is that i care sid my nonbinary lesbian king very much

I did not care about the characters anymore and honestly I didn’t care to see how the story got resolved. Also I have now learned there was a trilogy before this called the Winners Trilogy I think.

okay here we go...

the first 2/3 or the book dragged to me which was deviating because I loved the first book, but finishing the book was worth it. I do wish that she made the ending much longer and kept writing. I do feel like the author got tired of the book at some point and rushed the rest. I loved finding out Nirrim's origin that was incredible to me. Honestly, I wish we got three books instead of two I'm sad it's over.
