I loved the depth added to the characters that were on an opposing side to the main characters. I never thought I would sympathize with the guy that was supposed to be the genocidal villain in book one. The main reason I didn't give fiv  stars was the skipping ahead in the plot. I understand the practicality of it, but I hated going to the next chapter and seeing that it's set several months into the future.

Thank you to Netgalley and Fiercereads for the arc of this book.

After the victory--and devastating loss--at the end of Gearbreakers, Sona has been corrupted into thinking she hates the Gearbreakers, and Eris is stuck in Godolia prison. But Sona's corruption doesn't stick the way Enyo is hoping it will, and Jenny and Eris have big plans.


This book!!! Was heartbreaking, first of all. Like, how dare you do that to my precious babies?!  But also it is so good! And honestly the perfect ending to this duology and I couldn't ask for a better conclusion within the realm of believability for this world. 

The continued world-building and character development in this book was so good I love Sona and Eris so much and I feel like they changed so much in this book but I still love them. A little older, a little less feral, but still determined and fierce and loving and hopeful, always hopeful.

The hope and change and resilience of the characters in this book is so important. It is so good. I think it's the core of what this book is about. I love it so much. I will always recommend this duology to everyone.

Go read it now!
