What, oh what could a demon offer you for your future, for your damnation. What would be worth your soul, anothers, or the suffering of others to be fed and damned by your hand.

I have read this book three times.  I absolutely love this book.  Alex brings us back to Yale.  She’s now Dante.  Sure, she still presides over rituals.  But she’s focused on saving Darlington.

And that’s this book.  A book about what lengths a person will take to save someone else and the maybe just maybe a person will go too far.

I still really enjoyed this book, but the major themes differed greatly from what I loved and what intrigued me in the first book. This book was less dark academia/Yale and secret society lore, which I missed. And while the plot had plenty to twists and turns, some parts were slow and I didn’t really see where the book was going. This book takes the series in a different direction than the first, and I’m not sure if I will like that direction as much as the first book. Though I’m excited to read more in the series and see how it goes!

I actually really liked this one. I absolutely adore Leigh Bardugos' style of writing and I love how she gives her characters a proper personality. Also I like the whole dark academia vibe, without the book getting too weird or confusing. The magic aspect felt very realistic, even though it might not be everyones' cup of tea, especially if they're a bit sensible to blood or gore. Felt to me like it was a lot less gory than the last one though. Great book!
