Emocionante. Todo el libro fue bastante bueno, pero quiero resaltar la segunda mitad y en especial ese último tercio en el que fue directamente imposible dejar de leer por la cantidad de cosas que estaban pasando.

The first book was absolutely perfect- and this one is, somehow, even moreso. The political intrigue was INCREDIBLE; there were plays here that caught me completely off guard and made my heart flutter at the sheer amount of thought & foreshadowing! So so good! And so so messed up!!

Impeccable dialogue and characters, as always- I just adore Damen and Laurent's relationship progression here so much. From hatred to tense allyship to hesitant friendship to the fragile care at the end here.... it's just impeccable ❤️ 
Truly such a joy, I'm literally buying book 3 this instant

Loved this the first time and loved it even more in reread, as I understand more now. I spent most of my time reading this with a smile on my face. The characters ended this book very differently from how they started it and I enjoyed watching them go from being reluctant allies that can't stand each other to friends and a little more. The extra half chapter is sweet and a little heartbreaking. Some parts of the book were a little hard because of all the child abuse that is mentioned or implied.
