this... fizzled out at the end, which was a total shame. the party all split up and the main conflict got solved off-screen. i don't really think that's forgivable, y'know? i appreciated that the book did some things that surprised me though, like, i fully expected soria to make a miraculous and timely recovery but i just don't think i can get over the way that ending was completely thrown away.
This duology was a great adaptation. I very much enjoyed this finale and the wrap up of Cayo and Amaya’s stories. Would highly recommend for those who enjoy a little action and adventure.

This duology focused on revenge doesn’t get nearly the recognition it deserves
I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel and think it was a fantastic ending for the duology. I liked how it kept elements that showed that it was inspired by The Count of Monte Christo but also how it was a complete story on its own. I love the characters and the casual representation within this novel and it is truly a thrilling adventure.
This was such a great conclusion to the duology! While nothing will ever take the place of Scavenge The Stars in my heart, this definitely came close to it!! I just,,, loved seeing how all of the different characters’ storylines were wrapped up and how different characters came together and interacted for the first time and I just had so many feelings the whole time I was reading this book it was such a good time!! I genuinely think this was an incredible sequel. While it did take me a moment to remember where Sim left things off in the first book (because it has been over a year since I read it and I did not have the patience to reread lmaoo), I really loved jumping back into these characters’ lives. Both Cayo and Amaya’s character arcs were really well done and I also really loved the relationship arc between the two of them. Also I am just unreasonably attached to Cayo and I think that’s valid of me because he means the world to me <3. I did find the plot to be a little rocky at times and I had a few issues with the pacing, but they weren’t something that really affected my enjoyment of the book overall. All in all, I really adore this series and I can’t recommend it enough!
