I might have liked this one even better than the first, though that may just be because I love Camreon so much <3

Second books are always better than the first. This one tore at my heart and made me giggle and laugh and cry and every other emotion all in one. I loved it, I craved it, I still ache for it deeply. The plot, the mysteries, the magic deeply rooted in history and the character developments make it an amazing sequel.

I fucking love this series. Can that be my whole review? Because really, I just loved everything about this book. Jetta is really coming into her own. She’s still really worried about her madness and that’s prevalent for most of the book. But I think she does really well with it. She’s strong and brave. She uses her abilities to keep her family safe, and that might just mean siding with the rebels. I loved the complexities of the choices she had to make. She learns new things, but also sometimes from people she doesn’t trust and deals with unexpected consequences. Jetta is a complex and fascinating girl. I’d also love to know more about her parent’s history in this world’s past.
Then there’s her brother, Akra. She’s brought him back from the dead and he’s still trying to figure out what that means. I loved how close Jetta and Akra are in this book. It was clear in the last book that Jetta really loved her brother, but in this one, we get to see it and I’m always here for good sibling relationships.
Leo was an interesting character. He’s invested in helping the rebels, but doing that means he’s against his brother and sister. I thought this was a really interesting aspect of the story and I really enjoyed all the complications it brought.
There are so many other characters I could talk about, but there are just too many. I loved them all. They each brought something unique to the story.
Overall, I loved this book. I loved the way it was written and the story itself. I loved the world and all its complications. I love each and every one of the characters. I just loved this book. I cannot wait for the next (and I think the last) book in the series.

Narrated by sixteen year old Jetta Chantray, now that both the rebels and the colonial army know about her abilities, Jetta’s life is in danger.

This didn't take as long to read as what it says. I started it and then tons of homework collided with too many requests from the library all at once. This resulted in frantic reading of books that couldn't be renewed. And a bunch of fines. Anyway, this is a good series. I am looking forward to the third book.
