Man this book was good and well worth the wait. I loved the journey these two sisters went one. Wren and Rose went through so much in the span of this book, and they grew more than I thought was possible. We seen so much strength and weakness and love and the uniqueness of their world and their magic. There were characters that I didn’t want to love that I did. And characters I never thought I’d be mad at that I was. There was so much unexpected and some things I did see coming, but it melded together in this wonderful journey to be had. I truly wish I didn’t have to wait another year for the next book, but I can’t wait to see where it leads.

DID NOT FINISH: 34%

The characters feel like they went backwards in character development. Especially Rose. And the way the characters are written feels way more flat than in book one. I also just think it’s being dragged out too much, we made barely any progress in 160 pages.

It would have been a 3:5 but the enemies to lovers gave me exactly what I wanted! I am thoroughly enjoying this series. I love how linear it is.

Enjoyable, I think more so than the first one? Which is crazy for a sequel (in a trilogy no less!), but maybe it’s cause I had the physical book and wasn’t listening to the audiobook.
