It took me a little bit longer to delve back into Jazmyne and Iraya's story, but it was one worth finishing.
The back and forth between perspectives was a bit dizzying this time, as was the war in which the characters are embroiled. Just like with the first book, there are plenty of twists and turns, lots of intrigue, and a smattering of spiciness.
Poor Jaz got shafted throughout most of the book, considering how much more everyone else had to work with. But ultimately, it made her into a better version of herself.
I really liked the way that Ms Smart ended the duology on a hopeful note, letting us readers imagine how life continues for the enemies turned unlikely allies, united by the one thing they love most: Aiyca.
