justlily's review against another edition
I'm just a different reader now than I was when I read book #1. I stand by how much I love and adored that book, I have just PERSONALLY grown out of finding enjoyment in a YA fantasy/sci fi. Really recommend trying the series if that IS your speed though, I bet you'll love it.

I knew as soon as I put down the first book that this one wouldn't be far behind. It's a stellar sequel and worthy ending to a series that has swept me off my feet. The action is great, the suspense is great and it's in space! What more could a reader ask for? Definitely a favourite series I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I can’t believe I actually finished this duology. I waited for almost a year after getting this book to read it because I was so scared but it was so good!!!

I'm really sorry that I had to rate this 3 stars. I'm not actually sure if the problem was me not being in the mood to read or if it's actually the book? It took me such a long time to finish this and that is very unusual. Though I am totally sure I enjoyed reading book 1 more.
The characters are okay. I love Di. I just didn't feel so attached to any of them to actually be hyped about everything happening to them except Di. Also, I was still so confused about all the iron thingy and kingdom. How power works or the fcking HIVE. All I got is the HIVE putting souls in a robot and that's it. The goddess shits are just all over the place. Or as I said, maybe it's just me. Clearly, majority loved the book so it's possible I am just not in the mood when I read this which is unfortunate because I wanted to enjoy it as much as other readers had.
But the ending was actually a little vague, idk. It felt rushed too. I wasn't that into the book so it's not too disappointing.

Held up very well to the first book. I ended up loving each of the characters and how creative the concept of the story was. It felt like there was a cohesive plan throughout the writing process and the truth was slowly revealed to reader.
This series has an amazing plot that just gets better the deeper you get into it.

I enjoyed this book. I really liked the first book in this duology, Heart of Iron, but this one was not quite as good in my opinion. It was still a good read, and I loved getting to spend more time with the characters I loved from the first book. It is worthwhile if you really liked the first book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Wowza I FLEW through this book at the speed of light... ha get it? Back on my space puns friends and I'm not stopping.
This sequel and I truly had an asteroid blast of a time and I would love to keep flying on a skysailer in this spacey world! Seriously, I read this chunky book in like 3 days and I love this for me.
I actually don't have all that much to say about this sequel. It withheld everything I loved about book 1 plus some higher stakes and more angst and you've got yourself a spit-spot duology finale. Seriously bummed there aren't more books *screams into eternity*
The writing was wonderful, descriptive and gut-wrenching and so easy to follow. Bar a few editing errors which I noticed in in the first book so oops. But I loved it nonetheless. The pacing kicked up a notch since I whizzed through this book and we really had a joy of a time.
I also loved how the Anastasia retelling was still sprinkled in here and there. Since this is a sequel and there is no Anastasia 2, the book doesn't have a core text to work with, but the author made it wholly unique whilst still using elements from its original and I loved it. I genuinely thought it was an excellent retelling and I'm still mad at all of you who say otherwise!
The characters are just!! ugh my faves I love them to pieces. Siege and Talle are just absolute queens and we love two moms. I loved the new characters also, which can be hard but they were a great addition to the cast. I was LOVING Robb and Jax in this book, omg they are so adorable and I was FEELING THINGS FOR THESE GAYS!!! Di's story was a lot but the author did a stunning job with mu precious child. Love a friends to lovers *cries in mechanics*. Ana is my absolute babe and I will protect her at all costs!!!! Ms Poston is a master at adorable romance and I still have hearts in my eyes btw
Did I mention I'm sad there's no third book? BECAUSE I WANT MORE!!!Let's start a petition for another book, seriously *cries*
The ending was a lot and my heart was beating extremely fast. I WANT AN EPILOGUE. Okay I'll stop now. But there really were some great twists and she had me there for a second. I can't think of a more perfect ending and I had the bestest time in this robot space world.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a series with rogue royals, glorious romance and galactic adventures, this duology is for you. It ticks every Anastasia-Star-Wars-loving fan's heart and I had the best time! I could not have asked for a better sci-fi series to fall in love with and you need to read it so we can swoon together please and thanks <3<3<3
