Oooo I loved this just as much as the first if not more!

It really did pick straight up from where the first one left it without missing a beat, so much so I kept forgetting I was reading a sequel. The pacing felt a lot better than book one which was great, everything moved swiftly and it was just all so damn good! 

I loved the characters, their changing dynamics, the hints of romance…all of it! The lore with how magick works is still super unique and interesting to me so I enjoyed this a lot, it really worked with building the tension between allies annd enemies.

Glad it wrapped up nicely, the ending was really satisfying and I enjoyed it so much. Sad to let this duology go!

I’m not really sure what to say. I listened to the audiobook and kept losing interest, so I’d have to re-listen. I only really paid attention during Gavin and Alistair chapters. They were my favorites in the first book. Overall, it wasn’t as good as the first. It dragged, and I just didn’t love it. I don’t regret it, but I’ll also probably never think about it again.

Started slow and started to pick up later on. Good conclusion to the series once you get past the first part.

Not as good as the first book. Hardly even close. I only enjoyed one of the romances, and death. What does that say about me.

I take back everything i said about Villains — this second book was so required! So much story to tell, so many relationships (between and within) to work through, and so much intensity that couldn’t fit within one.

I loved Demise and all its horrors from start to finish. 

The ending maybe concluded a bit quickly but that’s a selfish comment from someone who didn’t want the story to end! 

Though this monster story had never been destined for a happily ever after, he had achieved something close to it. 
“… and no tail was ever heard of him again.”

A perfect ending for Alistair Lowe. 🫶
