The reveal in this one!!!! I screamed!!! I definitely wasn't expecting it. The addition of Helene's POV really added to the story. She's such an interesting character to follow. I enjoyed getting to see Laia's fighting/training develop a bit more. She's not the same girl from that first chapter; Elias isn't the same boy from that chapter either. He's challenged just as much as Laia in this one.
I've got more questions than answers at this point and I'm really looking forward to getting those answers. I'm a little late to the game, but don't let that stop you from picking up this series. It's so good!

Maybe it’s because we finally left Blackcliff and Serra. Maybe it’s because this was heavy on the adventurous journey. Maybe it’s because of THOSE DAMN PLOT TWISTS. (Seriously daaaaaamn!)
Also; less Marcus (ugh fucking Marcus) + big reveals.
Regardless i enjoyed this one MUCH more than the first and sped through it.
It picks up right we’re AEITA left off with Leia and Elias on the run. We follow them through endless twists and turns, alliances and betrayals. There are so many losses (some hit much harder than others). And even the few victories we get are tainted by what had to be sacrificed.
I appreciate the direction Helene and Laia’s “relationship” moved in. And yay to no more love square (uggggh).
I didn’t really care about Helene’s family though i understand why it was present…i just don’t think we knew them enough to understand the impact of what happened to them on Helene.
Overall this was a fast paced and surprisingly beloved read.
