Most of the narrative is the main characters going from place to place, either trying to recruit help for the rebellion or run away from the king's forces. In between are some delightful moments between characters that I adored, especially with
Sadly, a bunch of points fell short for me.
For the most part, this was an enjoyable read. Not as brilliant as the first book, but a good addition. Well-written with lovely prose and equally lovely characters not you, Lova or Bo. It's definitely hooked me for the next book.

Trauma surrounding sexual assault is a huge theme throughout the book.autistic_dragon's review against another edition

This book takes Book 1’s already dark premise and makes it even darker, and in such an artful way that I can’t help admiring the grim tableau that Natasha Ngan has made for us. Therefore, five stars.
