I stand with 2012 Lorina’s review of 3 stars. This wasn’t spectacular and I wanted to throttle Yelena most of the time but eh. Happy for her and her horse girl era I guess. Also, the best line in this book was spoken by a horse.

What a great series! I loved this book even more than the first! With more history given about the magic system and political nature of the society it just drew me in with every page! Not to mention all the intriguing mysteries! Great read all around.

2024 reread
This was so much fun to dive back into, especially considering the beautiful edition I got to read! This is also where it really picks up, although it takes a sec, then it’s off! Yelena is such a badass and the magic system is so cool and interesting! Can’t wait to continue.

I read this in 3 days. That is fast for me. Very plot driven - I couldn't put it down. However - certain key elements to the story I found to be annoying. I feel as if I need some time to digest whether I like the book or not.
