Much better than the first volume, still not 100% convinced by the relationship development after all that happened before.
“Never had he wanted something this badly, and held it in his hands knowing that tomorrow it would be gone, traded for the high cliffs of los, and the uncertain future across the border, the chance to stand before his brother, to ask him for all the answers that no longer seemed so important. A kingdom, or this.”

FUCKING-- BRILLIANT. BETTER THE SECOND TIME
March 2020:
this book.... means so much to me... this was.... such an unforgettable experience... from the rapport building in the troops, to rooftop chase, to the vaskian raid, to the so very brief but intimate night-time exchanges between Laurent and Damen? *chef's kiss* this made me feel so much and I just want to thank Pacat for writing something as special as this series. I will be painfully waiting for my library to hold the last book for me...

You know that moment when you find a book that you like so much and feel so invested in that you have to take constant breaks to scream in the bathroom. Yes, this was this book for me. I loved everything about it. The slow burn, the intrigue, the political drama, then the bittersweet romance between Damen and Laurent. Everything was perfect. The first book wasn't all that great, but this one was amazing. I cannot wait to read the last volume but at the same time I will be sad to finish it.

Okay. This was amazing! I had a rocky start with the first novel, and had put off reading this series because of things I had heard. This was everything! I only purchase tangible copies of books when I absolutely love them, and all I can say is, that after reading this one I know that the series will adorn my bookshelf.
Honestly, the only thing I can say is that I wish Damen had not slept with all those women. However, it may have been a part of the deal with that tribe. Or, the tribe would have taken offense, if he had not. Perhaps it was necessary? Also, later on, when Damon has the chance again to "partake", Laurent refuses. That was an indication to me that their relationship was starting to change, and that Laurent would no longer allow anyone else to touch Damen if it were in his power.
