The story also makes no sense most of the time. The same person will be super smart and cunning or blind and stupid, trusting or mistrusting depending on what is needed for the story to progress in a certain way, what makes sense for the character is not considered.
There is a small treasure hunt that is too easy and never exciting. The unraveling of Oraya's backstory offers no suprises and is hollow. The tension and slow burn romance between Oraya and Raihn from the first book never hits right again, their chemistry is gone and we are left with neck biting.
The only good thing is the very believable relationship between Oraya and her father, and Oraya's complicated feelings towards her father after his death.

I love both Raihn and Oraya and I’m so glad that this book showed their dual point of views because they were definitely both needed. They are one of my favorite fictional couples of all time now and this series has also definitely cemented itself in my list if all-time favorites!
I’m also really glad that I read Six Scorched Roses before starting this book because Vale and Lilith’s story was so relevant. If you’re thinking of moving onto this book after finishing book 1, stop and go back to Six Scorched Roses first, and then come back!
I’m so happy I read this book because I truly loved every moment of the experience, but I’m also sad it’s over cause I still need more. I’m looking forward to whenever the next duology in this series is finally released!
