If Lor doesn't want to be Nadir's, I happily will <3. In all seriousness I haven't devoured a fantasy in so so long and the way that I am flying through these? In deep despair that I don't have book three already? Am gonna be thinking about them (<3) for a long time? I am back in my fantasy era and no one can tell me anything. 

Back to my point about being Nadir's. I have deep respect for Lor for looking at *all that* and still being "no I am mine and mine alone". Feminism did not leave her body when she saw his. I am estressed about them going back to Aphelion but it'll be fine. Right?? Also Gabriel's POV is coming up and I am READY.

This was a great second book. I am so glad that the plot was so definitively different from the first book. There wasn’t any confusing first romance and second. Thankfully the FMC was fighting herself enough to know that she was growing from the person she was in the first book.

However, the pace did slow down quite a bit, and the stakes came down a peg or two. While not bad, it allowed the plot to get some breathing room that I feel was really necessary for the character arcs of the MC’s. But the hot and cold pendulum between the MC’s also got old really fast. 

The world building was nice with the addition to the flashbacks, bringing a new POV into the fold. However, I didn’t find myself liking the characters in the flashback… 

The magic system was laid out a little more, but I’m still at a loss as to what ANY of the high face’s powers actually are or how they manifest. 

As far as individual character development goes, the blatant rage from the FMC died down, giving us a better look at Lor when she isn’t starving or afraid she is going to die. That’s probably really important. Nasir felt a bit too much like a doormat, which I can’t imagine anyone likes… I’ll be interested to see his continuing character arc in the next book now that he is a bit freer, in the same way Lor did in this book.

I didn’t love “Inmate” as a sexy nickname… especially since she told him many time to not call her that. They weren’t very good at keeping anything secret or under wraps… their fake dating was in fact terrible cover for their true purpose because there wasn’t a fake name or anything that they used. What kind of spy’s are they?!… bad ones. 

But I still enjoyed myself and was drawn in, so I will be reading the next book in the series.

Thank you NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for an Advanced eReader Copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

*Thank you to Nisha Tuli for an ARC, here is my honest review*

This was SUCH a great continuation of the first book! I’m one of those people who love political intrigue in my fantasy books and this one absolutely delivered that and more! 

Lor has survived the Sun Trials and now has to survive being in the clutches of the Aurora Prince. They hate each other but are inexplicably drawn to each other. 

Lor know she’s needs to find the Heart Kingdom artefact in order to secure her destiny. 

I loved the dual pov and really liked the flashbacks as well! It helped to understand what exactly happened in Heart. I felt so many strong emotions reading the story and when that happens it’s definitely a special one. 

Lor setting her boundaries and sticking to them was also a breath of fresh air! And I will say that Nadir is a consent king! The slow burn is *chef’s kiss*. 

I cannot wait for the next installment!
