I enjoyed this sequel a little more than I enjoyed the first book. Lettle is still my favorite character and I loved the addition of Alder. He was funny and charming and really helped the narrative. Furi's POV was surprising to me but I felt it was also something the first book lacked in. I liked being able to see her thoughts/perspective on everything that was happening. She should have had a POV in the first book too honestly so I could better understand how she and Yeeran came to love each other so quickly. What I did not like though was how fast Golan and Alder came to love each other in this novel. As it was with the first book when I felt like Furi and Yeeran happened too fast, the same can be said for these two. I could see the inklings of their relationship when they first met but I've never been a "love at first sight" trope kind of girl. I knew Alder would have no qualms about Golan being Lightless or vice versa with Alder being elven (spoiler: he's actually not but that's a different story) but I still expected Golan to have some qualms about jumping into a relationship especially since his last one ended very badly. All this to say that, I'm glad the prophecy about Rayan and Lettle finally came to light but I don't think it's fair for Rayan to be this upset when he literally put Lettle in a situation that nearly got her killed. They both lied about something but this shouldn't be what breaks them apart.

Was it the best book I’ve read? Nope. Did parts of it feel rushed, like they needed to be fleshed out more? Yes. Did the ending surprise me? Partly, I didn’t expect the first betrayal but the second didn’t surprise me but the motive did. Did I guess alder was human pretty early on? BIG YES. Was I shocked that the obeah are human? YES I was seriously not expecting that!!!

First book was better. This one dragged on. Good LGBTQ representation in both books. The characters and relationships felt one dimensional. I would not recommend this series as a whole. Possibly the first book.
