I actually liked this book more than the first. The world building was really stunning and it was interesting to see the full extent of the different magic in it.

Malik was a lot better this book. I loved his arc and to see him fully come into himself. The author wrote the various mental issues he had very well too & I was glad he was able to have some cool, courageous moments throughout the story.

Karina had a lot of growth, too. Whereas the first book, she’s kind of irresponsible and naive.. this one finds her having to essentially save their world by any means. She had to make some tough choices that first book her likely wouldn’t have done.

This was a good sequel and I’m happy it was a duology. I could’ve used a third just about the world or even a prequel too. There’s alot more the author could do with this series but it also isn’t necessary. It was a good end!

I really enjoyed the first book in the series, I thought it was so fun and amazing but this one was kind of a let down. I still enjoyed it but not as much unfortunately:(

Boy was this book a whopper. Lots of secrets and connections are made as to the characters and their backstories are well-developed. This was a bit of a slow read all the bulk of the action comes at the end. Both Malik and Karina find their paths. In the end, things weren't quite what I expected but satisfying nonetheless.
