At around 90% I thought I was gonna give this 4 stars, maybe 4.5. But that ending took it straight to a 5 for me.
Forgiving the grammar mistakes and the repetitive descriptions of things the reader should already be aware of (that typically irritate the living hell out of me), this story was incredibly captivating and was a wild ride from start to finish. There're so many things to love: the spicy romance, Poppy's personal growth and arc, the balanced pacing and passage of time, the relationship dynamics and development (not just between the main characters), the dedication to world and culture building so rich in magic and elusion. And unlike the preceding title, I failed to preemptively catch the plot twists before they occurred; absolutely nothing was expected.
If you enjoyed the first novel, you'll love this one!
