I will say, I wish I could’ve gotten more about the other castes in the society and more than just the “demon” caste and “human” distinctions, and I was grateful this book was beginning to unravel that.
Fair warning though: HAVE the third book nearby because that ending definitely slapped me in the face and left me running to get the conclusion to the trilogy. As the author notes at the end, the middle book of a trilogy is always the toughest to read, but this one still kept the story alive and I’m definitely going to continue reading the series!

With up the set up there are also a lot of character development. I thought the development was good and needed in fleshing out some of the characters. With all the character development it did feel like the action scenes lacked in comparison.
All in all I really liked the book and want to finish the series soon.
