I was significantly less frustrated with the characters and overall plot, though I still have my qualms.
I really love all the new characters we’re introduced to from the Night Court; they all have their own motivations that feel realistic, but in our reality and a fantasy setting. They feel properly fleshed out for the most part. The relationships between each of them also feel plausible, along with how they came to be.
The descriptions of the settings were pretty good and felt pretty immersive, especially since similar are often used in visual medias already so I could easily refer to something I’ve already seen to visualize the surroundings.
It’s not the best written thing I’ve read, but certainly a lot better than the first book, so that’s why I’ve rated it higher but not much higher than the first book.

Wow! How is the second book in the series better than the first? I did not expect any of what happened to happen.
Rhysand was probably the biggest curveball for me. I didn't expect him to be so caring and
I can't believe I would say this, especially after reading the entirety of book one, but
The ending wasn't what I expected and I am shook on what will happen next! I think I might need a moment before I start the next book because I need to mentally prepare myself!
