This was fun. I stayed awake far too late to finish it. I enjoyed the politics at play and the ever shifting balance of power. Things that the first book set up came full circle. The interpersonal relationships were my drag in this one as most characters spent most of the book with their heads up their asses. Balance is an interesting theme that without being explicitly stated, shows up in a number of ways. And while I know that Legion Grey didn’t technically exist, it felt like some of what I found charming about him was gone with the breaking of his curse. One of the things I liked most was his intelligence and his ability to talk circles around the idiots around him. His role in this book is much more muscle and much less courtier, so I hope we get a balance between the two in book three. The “twist” at the end was obvious, but very curious to see how it resolves.

Even tho I find it quite predictable, I still really enjo the story!

I like slow burn, and I wouldn’t call this series that, it's a bit to fast for me. But I did like what we got in this book anyway 😜

I think there's a strong group of side characters, and that’s a big plus for me! Can’t wait to see what will happen in the next book, especially with Tor 👀

I believe I enjoyed this book more than the first one. I have already got the next book in the series and I’m excited to see what will happen.
