This was not a world of men. It was a world of gods, a time of great powers. It was the era of divinity walking in man, of wind and water and fire. And in warfare, she who held the power asymmetry was the inevitable victor.

War, grief, betrayal, power, destruction...this sequel does not disappoint. So much happens here, and it is impossible to go over all of it; even more so than the first book, there is no downtime, no stopping; war rages on. Politics get amped up, Rin's power increases, and the horrific aspects of it all just continue. Rin is a truly unlikable main character, but it is oh-so-satisfying to watch her learn and grow throughout the book. I cannot wait to see how she evolves in the future. This sequel was every bit as incredible as its predecessor, and I have high hopes the third will be just as good.
