After finishing The Final Empire, I jumped straight into book two, I couldn’t wait to fall back into this world!

Once again, I loved this - the author seems to have this ability to write such rounded characters and it’s impossible not to fall in love with them. Unfortunately that also means I spent 85% of this book desperately wishing I could protect them; from the new struggles they faced as a team and individually, and from themselves at times!

The only reason this isn’t five stars is the amount of ✨miscommunication✨ - it’s flying around everywhere and it’s rather irksome, please just talk to each other, that is all xo

Will be reading book three immediately, with the hope that it’s a worthy conclusion to the original trilogy. What a start to the 2024 reading year!
