The ending had my jaw on the floor.
Holy shit, that was something unexpected.
This book took me through twists and turns I could not even think of. The romance and the banter was amazing but I loved that I was easily able to get back into the world after it being months since I finished Powerless.

Story is like a side plot. Focus is on Pae and Kai mending their relationship. All resistance elements and the hooks from Powerless have still to be explored

Only Kiss steamy scenes. Touches briefly on death and violence but not too graphic

That's a whole lotta words for literally nothing to happen. I could've written the same book in just three words: sand and angst.

This was good! It was a bit slow at times but I love the cliff hanger ending.  I’m excited to see what unfolds in the next book!
