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

Good grief, this just keeps getting better. There's someone ahead of me on the library hold list for Book 3, and I just may have to buy, because I don't think I can wait.
