Despite this sequel having far less action than the first book, I loved it even more. I was enthralled by the continuation of the insane final chapters of book 1 and then the time jump in book 2. The author leaned heavily on the themes she touched on in book 1 and went hard on the politics and war. In my opinion, this was handled so well and was always engaging to read.

There was never a time where I felt like the author was trying to tell me how to feel and instead had these incredibly complex characters and morals and different wills and beliefs all mixed up, and it was realistic and frustrating and compelling at every turn. I was frequently yelling at the pages, these characters who I like so much. 

The last 200 pages took me for a ride and had me constantly tense and worried for everyone. I had no idea what would happen. Exhilarating and wild ending. I cannot wait to pick up the third and final book.

Nahri finally did what I wanted and made her own choices! She seems much more matured and cautious. I also grew to love several other characters I didn't like or just didnt understand in the first book.

Wow. Though higher in page number than the first book, I believe this second book in the Daevabad trilogy read much faster and in a much more enthralling way. 

The character development is just so good. I felt so completely drawn into the storyline and into the lives of those included.

Similar to the first book, I’d say the last 25-30% of this book has the height of action, though I didn’t feel as the first 65-70% ever really dragged on. It was quite captivating, IMO.  

Very excited to read the last 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 !
