War has a much bigger play in this book but still the characters are so wonderful!

4.5

On reste sur un 4.5 pour ce second tome. Je continue à dire que j'aime énormément l'écriture de Danielle L. Jensen. C'est l'une des rares fois où je lis, une romance, ainsi qu'une intrigue purement politique sans une once de magie ou de fantastique, ce qui est un point très positif.
Ce tome-ci est plus rapide dans ses événements, nous sommes directement dans la guerre, pas de retour en arrière possible pour notre petite reine traîtresse. 
Ce qui m'a plus, c'était clairement le voyage, la découverte de nouveaux paysages, de nouveaux endroits. J'aurai aimé en savoir plus sur les soeurs de Lara, surtout sur la suite de leurs vies. 
Encore une fois, je ne me suis pas assez faite surprendre, et c'est pour ça que je n'ai pas mis 5 étoiles. Et aussi par les 2 derniers chapitre. J'aurai aimé un "jugement" plus incroyable que ça. Ça m'a semblé sorti de nul part, on a pas eu vent de ce phénomène auparavant... Donc bon. 

Hâte de voir ce que Kerris et Zarrah vont faire, vont être dans ce prochain tome, débutant une nouvelle duologie..

  Predictable and I dislike that the two mcs are gonna end up together despite the fact that she’s literally a traitor who got his nation invaded. No stakes

The first book I liked but thought Aren was a little flat and Lara one sided BUT could tell/hoped it was going somewhere special and my hunch was accurate! I really enjoyed this book and it caught me off guard how invested I was in the ending. A little bit off the score for awkward pacing at times although, unlike the first book, I feel this didn’t have a rushed ending. Throughly enjoyed!

Not a fan of the will they? Won’t they? trope. But otherwise the action is well written. A satisfying end to the duology, but not the best I’ve read this year.
