Wonderful edition to the world. It is a little bit of 2nd book syndrome with a tad bit of info dump in the beginning to learn more about the world, magic,  and the invaders. It's does have the adventure and story that I loved in the first  towards the middle to end of the book. Also it builds on the relationship of Qayn and Imani along with Taha and Imani I love the complication that comes with those 3. It builds on Imani siblings and more into Taha's thoughts and mind set. It's a good second book and leaves you wanting the 3rd. 

Thank you NetGalley and Delacorte Press for the opportunity to read this e-arc. This is my honest opinion of the book.
