I loved this one more because Ikenna spent most of it with her squad and the non-white folks outside of the republic. I appreciated the complex relationship between her and Selene.
Ikenna was still rightfully pissed, ready to kill, and hoped Selene found peace and freedom after disappearing.
It got a bit cheesy between
her and Reed. I appreciate when they have sex for the first time in this book because she thinks about running away from the intimacy after then talks herself out of it. I thought that was nice character development and didn’t cause extra unnecessary drama like with Xaden and Violet in Iron Flame.
They’ve been through a lot and evaded death multiple times. There was only one really scene. I wish there’d be another series for the war with the Gods. 

Loved the duplogy. If you’re looking for romantasy. escapism that doesn’t have racism then this isn’t it.
