I was shocked; normally, I don't like the second book of a series as much as the first book, but I enjoyed this book more than the first. Through the first book, we witnessed Mariko go through a lot of her character development, where she learned about herself and the world around her. In this book, we were able to see her take action. I loved the different character perspectives of all the different characters because I loved seeing each side of the story. I truly truly enjoyed this book. The only complaint I have is that there were multiple typos (punctuation, spelling, names spelled wrong) that took away from the experience. But overall, a great read!

We love seeing FMCs being super duper powerful even in times when it “isn’t period accurate” women have always fought hard for things regardless of time period. Highly recommend this book and series for those who want to see women winning!

First of all I looooved Raiden’s character. I never thought I would grow to appreciate the guy who made us suffer so much in the beginning 😤😤.
Mariko was also even more awesome in this book and I wish we had gotten more chapters from her perspective 😞😞
I liked the first book more but I still really appreciated this one!
