As good as I'd hoped it would be. I'll never get enough of the world of this book or the characters. Ahmad and Chava feel so real and alive as do the rest of the characters.

i cant say it was as good as the first book, but it was still a decent read. cant say i rlly liked ahmad that much idk. poor chava. surprised that she told him that she still loves him, even if she didnt mean it romantically (which im prettyyy sure she did). hmph.

it was cool to read about the fifteen-yr old toby, anna’s son, though. time passes so quickly for immortals. i liked the part about chava changing her name and life-i was wondering about the logistics myself. other books tend to gloss over the whole process.

thanks for the read !!

Worth the wait!!! Sort of like a long epilogue but I’m glad we got it. Oh the terrifying ordeal of being known!

Edit: I'll actually be a senior, but what's the use in wondering?


yes my prayers have been answered and even though I will be a junior in college when this comes out i will be ready
