I had high hopes for this sequel to “This Poison Heart” because I loved the first book. The last half of the novel was really good. I liked the use of language and the character developments. The Greek mythology elements were present and beautifully included into the plot line too. But I was a little disappointed by the first half. The story felt dragged a lot of the times. I was also under the impression that the characters acted differently compared to the first novel. Furthermore, I wished that the relationship between Marie and Briseis was developed a little more being their interactions seemed forced sometimes.
Everything considered it was an enjoyable read and a round ending for this duology.
Favorite quote: “I was in love for the first time. The thought sent a little shiver of excitement through me. We would be mortal and fragile together and there was something beautiful about that.”

SUCH A GOOD BOOK. I loved every single character and the plot was great
Just wrapped me up in such an enchanting story and the imagery was phenomenal. You could just tell how much research and effort went into the book.
This author has very quickly become an immediate buy of any book they come out with next.

A slight letdown, given how much I absolutely adored the first book in this duology. It felt like everything I really loved about the first book was gone and this was a standard YA fantasy plot. I still love the characters and the general plot.
