I liked this more than the first book because I thought the plot picked up a lot faster. I loved Serai and Minya's character development, and several of the side characters got really interesting development too. My only complaint is that Lazlo was a pretty static character. His whole purpose and personality in this book was his love for Serai, while she had motivations outside of her relationship with him. There was a subplot with some side characters that was gripping and achingly sad which I absolutely adored. I also loved the themes of forgiveness and redemption. Overall I think that if you liked the first book, you'll like this one!

minya, thyon nero, and calixte are the only characters that made this bearable
the plot swerved so suddenly and so out of the way of my expectations??
there was so much backstory?? maybe 40% of the book actually happened in the present? and everything just ties back to characters that are already d***
there was a wide array of povs and interesting characters, but not enough interesting interactions or any actual growth?
also, the reveal of weep's hidden name? a letdown if i ever saw one
