I enjoyed this one, but not as much as this first.  This one just fell too deeply into the fantasy romance battle tropes and it was too much cliche for me.

Still really enjoyed the story though, and I’m excited the next book will follow Miche!!  It’s definitely time for Raihn and Oraya to move to the sidelines.  Bring on the house of shadow 👥🩸
