While there are some characters I disliked but felt like I could understand their actions, there were others I wanted to slap very hard regularly for acting so irrationally and purely on emotion. The three main characters I continued to feel for, though not equally. There were two I definitely sympathized more with because it felt like they were making efforts and looking for how to do better. Though, trauma and having ideology put before a person from a young age cannot be any easy thing to change. 

There were a lot of twists in this. And I liked how sometimes one character’s perspective was purposely not gone back to regularly to keep the suspense for the reader about how all things were progressing. 

Chakraborty conveyed the complexity of emotions and relationships between people very well as things progressed in this book. And I’m very interested to see how things continue into the third book.

Ce deuxième livre est aussi bien que le premier, il est devient même drôle. On ne s'ennuie pas à un seul moment, les 700 pages sont avalées sans aucun accrochage (on peut également féliciter la traductrice). Le monde est clarifié dans celui ci et on découvre de nouveaux aspects. 
Pour les personnages, alors que je les appréciais dans le précédent, iels deviennent carrément attachants. Le développement de Nahri est fabuleux. Elle se prend enfin en main. Il y a beaucoup de femmes présentes dans celui ci, ce qui manquait dans le premier. Ali est encore plus engagé dans sa lutte anti classe à Daveabad. Dara commence à utiliser son cerveau et son bon sens tout en restant un ennemi terrifiant. 
Hâte de lire la suite !

I didn't think it was possible but this book got even better than the first! I loved the further dive into the politics of this world, and the cliffhanger ending nearly killed me. And my love for Nahri only seems to grow!
