2023: 4 stars. I liked this a lot better than the first, for my second read. I just enjoyed seeing the war/politics/double crossing/intrigue, so much more interesting.
2017: 4 stars

While I adore the first book for this amazing, crazy journey it takes you on (and makes you read the entire book without putting it down), this book is marked by contrasts done well. We have Karou who is caught in the Chimera war and in their vengence, while Akiva is trying his best at rebellion and somehow getting to peace.
It's just great to see both their journeys and how they arrive at their respective points in time and conviction.
