• Drop everything on your TBR and read this trilogy! It’s just breathtaking! 
• Both books so far have been 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• 3 POVs, including a new cast of characters for multiple complex plots 
• Action-packed: I normally have a hard time imagining battle scenes, but this time I was RIGHT there, fully immersed.
• The reveals are jaw-dropping! 
• Love the choices author makes and her poetic writing style — I was highlighting quotes constantly 
• The mental movie that played in my mind was just incredible  
• Magic, war, and even spooky elements
• Short, but meaningful chapters
• Such vivid imagery! 
• Perfect pacing 
• 📱+ 🎧: I wish the audiobooks were better—they’re pretty rough. I almost DNFed book 1 because of it, but I stopped listening and restarted completely with the ebook and was hooked. I didn’t have time to do that for this one and really wanted to get back into the story.
• It really helped to have a male narrator take over the MMC’s chapters this time, but his voice was still not how I imagine Max’s. I think I was able to get through the narration this time after having crafted voices in my head from reading the entire first book and some of this one on ebook.
