A great conclusion to the duology; I enjoyed this book more than the first one. The pacing is slow but it built so much tension that way and left me eager to find out how it all concludes. I think Rebecca Ross did a fantastic job formulating this novel and making all the separate arcs/characters come together. I especially enjoyed the journey that Torin had to take and the way him and Sidra had to step into the other's role. And while I didn't care for the romance between Jack and Adaira, I loved seeing them reunite again. I'm glad to have gotten to read these two books.

While this book had some pacing issues for me in the beginning, the second half of this book truly stunned me. I love these characters so deeply, and this story of redemption and love and justice just makes my heart elated. I don't re-read books often, but I can TOTALLY see myself re-reading this duology.
