1st book was better but i loved elms and iones perspective the best and i still like the magic with the cards which is different!
this is a million star book. i'm so glad the last one ended on a cliffhanger and made me pick up this one because this is possibly one of my all time favorite books now.
elm is a dream. literally obsessed w him and ione, and it was so nice to have them to root for in this book. i felt like in the first one rayvn and elspeth's connection went from 0 to 100 too quick to be plausible (entirely) but the slow burn for ione and elm was perfect. I also liked the balance given that we didn't get a ton of E&R in this book, bc of the circumstances, which i understand tbh.
i also really loved the way gillig handled the shepherd king and elspeth's relationship. it was really nice. i loved learning more about him, too.
i honestly can't praise this book enough, i absolutely ATE it up. writing is beautiful, characters are lovely, it made me cry multiple times. 10/10. can't wait to read her future work. ione and elm forever!!!!

The book wasn’t as good as I expected.
The story was a bit boring at times. The characters were one-dimensional and either dull or annoying, except for Elm!!! I really loved him and his POV!!!
