Unfortunately, this book just wasn't for me. While I enjoyed the first installment, I already had some issues with how Hellevir was treated by those around her and, even more concerning, how she allowed this treatment to occur.
I had hoped for some redeeming character arcs in the sequel because I was not convinced by the love interest and the direction the story took in the first book. Unfortunately, my hopes were not fulfilled; the redemption arcs of certain characters felt forced, and I truly wished that Hellevir had ended up with someone else.
Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Voyager for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
