A Vow of Embers by Sariah Wilson
2.75
slow-paced

The book picks up right where the 1st one left off and I was excited at first but then also couldn't remember some of the smaller details that I wish the author filled in. Overall, this book was incredibly frustrating and didn't find any of the characters or story develop throughout the book like I wanted. It felt stagnant and a toxic viscous circle, where many things could have progressed and dug deeper, but didn't. The supporting characters could have been flushed out more too. Its not enemies to lovers and not slow burn it just felt like a miscommunication trope with the two MCs being incredibly stubborn and ignorant. 
However, I will most likely read the next one, because still interested in the world and maybe the story will get somewhere.
