In comparison with the first book, the plot gets better as well as the characters interactions.
You can start to comprehend the characters a lot better, and it turns the reading more enjoyable.

The sequel did not disappoint! I felt so much for Alina throughout this book. Even if she is the Sun Summoner her struggles are always incredibly relatable. I’m always rooting for her; time will tell if I root for her and Mal as couple though. Still highly recommend!
