This book was a story about releasing the anger of the past and moving into the future with open eyes. It's a beautiful, moving story about unlearning your beliefs about the world, about yourself and learning to love yourself unconditionally.

I'm always a bit wary of second volumes, because they usually don't compare to the first one. But I absolutely loved this one, probably even more so than the first! I loved Ahn as well as the other new characters in this book. The world building is just so rich and the people in this books are so deeply human. It's past 2am now but I don't regret it all, I could simply not put it down until I finished it.

I'm VERY curious what the next book will hold.

I was hoping we would get the reunion with Sohmeng's brother at the end, but I do actually like the cliffhanger. And I'm so, so curious about Ahn's sister and the people in his world. And can he actually hear Schenn?? So far my feeling is no and that he'll have to deal with the grief of what that means. But I can totally see the book go into a different direction there as well.

The way that series is just a new favourite. I can see myself feeling right at home with Sohmeng, Hei, Ahn and the Sãoni, they make me feel safe. The conversations had, the concepts and everything just is everything to me I love these characters and the world so much and I look forward to the next one

Loved Two Dark Moons and loved this one even more. I can’t wait for when there is another book!

I got an ARC of this book, but I already had a preorder in for it and didn't cancel. I'm happy to pay for such an amazing book and am honored I got to read it early.

Avi brought the various plots introduced in the first book back and amped them up to 11. The new character Ahn and his evolving relationship with Sohmeng, Hei, and above all the sãoni is wonderful. If you enjoyed the first book you'll love this one. It's clear that Avi's already excellent writing has improved, and I cannot wait to read everything else they write for the rest of their career. (No pressure, just love/support Avi!)

If you're here wondering if you need to read (or reread) the first book before you read this one, the answer is yes. Avi wastes no words rehashing what happened. And, of course, the first book is wonderful itself. Just note that it focuses on world building more, because it has to, and this book could not be what it is without the clear foundation laid in book one.

Did you like the first book? Then read this one.
Do you like character driven plot? Then go read "Two Dark Moons" then read this one.
