Complicated
What a beautiful duology!! Unlike the first book that spanned about 800 years, this one only spans about 20. The world is changing more and more. Khiran and Anna are together finally, but are facing a whole new set of challenges and spend most of the book hiding and on the run. This book introduces new characters and gives more background to the characters we already know and love. It’s heart wrenching and beautiful—this duology is so poetic. I was a bit worried towards the end with how the characters were adjusting to their new circumstances, but it ended up working out in the end.
Do I recommend: With my whole heart
Summary: my favorite duology of all time
I can’t find the words to do this duology justice. But I will carry it with me for a long time to come.

I’ve heard that being in love is actively choosing someone every day. And they chose each other every day for centuries. This was one of the most romantic things I’ve ever experienced and one of the best written romance books I’ve ever read.
It’s hard to review through ALL THESE TEARS
I have no notes. This was perfect. I got devastation, endless love and a happy ending

while this one wasn’t as transcendently magical as the first one for me, IT WAS STILL REALLY F*CKING BEAUTIFUL, Y’ALL.
this is such an underrated duology, especially if you like lyrical prose, an absolutely devoted simp of an MMC, and exquisitely cultivated historic vibes and global settings.
the magic of book one was in its simplicity, i think – while you have these ever changing time periods and shifts in circumstances, it always came back to the two core characters and how they cope with those circumstances and as they gently, softly, and carefully fall in love with one another. IT’S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL. and this sequel is also very much that, but it was made a bit more complicated with other gods and new lore coming into play. if you found the first book a bit boring, this sequel might be more your style, as there’s a lot more going on beyond a simple, elegant character study through time. there are a lot more fantasy elements, but it doesn’t sacrifice any of the romance, so it’s a good compromise for those of you who need more going on than just time traveling through history.
ultimately this is a fantastic, beautifully written magical duology about a woman who eats a peach and is granted immortality, and the struggles and triumphs of the human experience throughout time, and the ways in which those experiences would shape the soul and spirit of those fated to witness each one.
it’s moving, a bit haunting, and painfully romantic. pick up this duology if you’re down with a more slow paced character study, love a good history reference, and especially if you liked addie larue.
