 Content Warnings: Blood, violence, death, pregnancy, war, confinement, animal death, toxic relationships, toxic friendships, murder, and some minimal sexual content. Mention of: cannibalism, abortion, abandonment, child abuse, and child neglect.

Holy crap. I DEVOURED this book. I needed to know what was going to happen with Jude, Madoc, Carden, ...I mean really everyone. There were some people that Jude forgave that I'm still mad at. New friends that I LOVE and wish I got more of.

Definitely so happy that my friend Roni rec'ed this to me, and gifted it to me 🥰, so I could experience this world!

Not even a third of the way through, I was certain this book would exceed my love for the first book and I was right. I love the growth of the characters and watching both Jude and Cardan learn how to shed the lessons they learned about themselves and love from their toxic parental figures, learn how to have ambition without greed, and learn how to find their strength in their vulnerabilities. I was reluctant to finish this book because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to this story. 

I truly love the inclusion of Ben, Hazel, and Severine as well as the inclusion of their lore. It was nice having references of them before. But to see them and have Jude interact with them was a great addition to the world.
