I’m glad Lila got her own storyline in this book, but she can be a really terrible person.

It’s hard to fault her because of her life up until this point, but she is constantly dragging others down with her. She’s selfish and impulsive and I hope to see growth in the final book.

I absolutely adore Alucard Emery, and he makes a great match with Rhy. No wonder Kell hates him so much.

I loved the action of the Essan Tasche and getting to meet all the other magicians. The best part of these books are the fight scenes. V.E. Schwab does these scenes so well, you can vividly pictures them in your mind.

I love this series so much. I finished the entire series in a span of a few days. I adore the main characters and the developing (slow-burn) romance. The world building is phenomenal.

It felt so long but I enjoyed the tournament a lot and Lila's development has been great (she was kinda insufferable during the first book) and I like her more now.

Kell per usual is my number one boy and I want to give him a hug asap

The king and queen can both fuck off and all of the ppl of red london

This was a lot more character driven than I was expecting, but the characters in this series are fascinating so that's only a slight downside. There is a bit of plot, mainly this competition, which was interesting in theory but also didn't seem so important enough that I was that enthralled by it. Kinda felt like 'well something HAS to happen in this book so why not this to bring the characters together'.

Narrators in this book were way better than book 1.

THE ENDING GAH.

MAJOR cliffhanger, and this is what I mean, by the time things were really moving plot-wise the book ended. Did it leave me wanting to read the third book immediately? Yes. Am I mad at that? A bit.

I am so glad to be re-reading this series. Still loving these books so much. I disagree with my past self, though— I like this one even more than the first one. The magical tournament was fun and created a suspenseful and entertaining backdrop to the rest of the story. Love how much Schwab continues to flesh out relationships and characters in this one while adding in new ones that just add to the story. Also, I don’t remember what happens in the next book, so I am still in suspense for the next book, haha! Happy I still love this series.
