I have to admit that the first book in this series was a little confusing for a long while, but I was very positively surprised when the author brought everything together by the end of the book and connected each and every storyline and scene. I was therefore really excited to dive into this sequel and I was really happy that BookSirens notified me that I could grab an arc for this second book via their website.
In this book it's clear from the start how the two cases, the robbery Lucian is involved in and the murder-case Freya is trying to solve, are connected. However, it was in no way predictable how eventually the two storylines would come together and how Freya and Lucian need each other to get out of the situation they're in. I loved how their paths kept on crossing and how this case really helped to deepen their relationship.
I also love the world this series is taking place in. Although we're spending most of our time in one town we do know that the world is incredibly big. We travel to other places, we meet people from other places and we know there is more out there. Just like the author focusses mainly on our two main characters, but uses them to show us the political climate, the society and the written and unwritten rules.
And despite the fact that there is quite some magic in this book it never feels like magic can do and solve everything. The author clearly made rules for her magic. Who can do magic? What kind of magic can people do? Who's magic is stronger? Who's magic can counter whom's? There are rules and limitations. And those are constantly challenging our characters to eventually become even better versions of themselves.
I hope there will be loads more to come!
