THE WAY THE ENDING HAD MY DROP TIME AND TIME AGAIN. I can tell already this series will be one I love and appreciate for a long time truly. And I will be diving almost straight into the final one.
I felt turmultuous as the back and forth between Akiva and karou and the angels and chimera but I still wasn’t ready for the end and cannot wait to see where they’ll take us.

Writing style was as good as in the first one and I still liked the characters, especially Ziri and Liraz.
Also liked that we finally got to see the way the angels live, since Book 1 was more about the chimaera.
In the middle, when Karou was on Earth, resurrecting chimaera the pacing felt off, nothing happened for a hundred pages.
The characters who were introduced newly felt quite forced, even if they played major roles later. Why didn't we hear about Joram's son before Akiva & Co killed him?
I would have also liked a clearer explanation on how the bodies for the resurrections are made do they just appear, or... ?
Solid read, all in all.

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.
