This book definitely surpassed my expectations! It was as good (if not better) as the first, and had plot twist after plot twist (I can’t even count the number of plot twists there was if I tried!). I couldn’t put down the book in the last 200 pages because it was that gripping! This book does not have as much attention as it deserves. I love the plot, characters, and world. Anwei got on my nerves a little because she kept making all the decisions without any input from others, but the author addressed that and used that as character growth for Anwei. I wasn’t as attached to Noa as the author was trying to go for, but by the end of the book I appreciated her more than I did in the beginning. I wish there could be another book in this series but at least both books are really long and I can always reread them.
