genuinely cannot express how much i love schwab’s work :,) the second book was so beautifully written and had me at the edge of my chair, especially with that ending!! seeing kell and lila’s adventures again was exciting enough to leave me unable to put this book down for days. so so ready to read the final book!!

This book!

I am rooting so hard for Lila. She’s a hero. She’s my hero. I love how ruthless and unstoppable she is.  

This book did not FEEL like 500 pages. The pace is AMAZING. I’m so captivated I want to proceed immediately to book three. But oh, I love this world, and how rich and magical it is and how HIGH the STAKES ARE. 

(Also I’m so here for Rhy the bisexual disaster prince. RHY. you are my favorite character and that’s saying a LOT since Lila and Kell are both so wonderful.)

*upping to five stars upon reread*

original review:

(4.5)

the first book read like a stand alone, but this one actually read like the middle book in a serious, with a cliffhanger ending that makes me want to reach for book 3. 

also, kell and rhy’s relationship is amazing.
