Honestly I won’t take any Piper slander after reading both her books and meeting her in person, TNAIM and TSAIS are amazing fantasy novels to escape into. I’ve been watching and listening to all the ‘cancel culture’ and sure, snapping back at your beta readers can come across as toxic and wasn’t the best move. One wrong decision does not define someone. Projecting your own political and societal issues onto this book is just not it. It is FANTASY. She’s an incredible writer, the ‘over the top’ descriptions just make it that much more immersive. Sometimes I don’t want ‘nuance’ sometimes I want to be led by the hand through a beautiful and well thought out world. She has created a deep and and immersive world that I am addicted to. I can’t wait for her other books.

This book was perfectly fine. It was much better written than the first, but there were still some off-putting sentences here and there. I think a lot of other reviews have mentioned them. It was quite slow paced. Nothing really happened and the constant “will they, won’t they” energy got to be quite annoying. However, I still think Piper’s overall plot is intriguing and I do plan on buying the next book to see what happens.

A great continuation to the first book. So many questions from book one were answered and the expansion of Gyrradin was a lot of fun to explore alongside the characters. The revelation of Amaris and Nox’s origins and who they are to each other had my jaw on the floor. The ending ripped my heart out and stomped on it though, I recommend having tissues handy!

I did not like this one however I love nox and malik. I predicted every single “twist” the book had and it was a bit boring and could have been cut in half also why the unnecessary and unsafe BDSM scenes that came out of nowhere? I do not like amaris and also I love odrin but his part at the end of the book felt hollow to me like it should have been emotional but the impact was just not there. sorry luvs, did not like this one xoxo
