You know a series is good when the sequel is just as awesome as the first book. Those second books usually get me and that was not the case here. WHOOP.
I LOVE Bri. I love that she fits well into the YA FMC category. She is definitely 16 going on 17 but also is strong, capable, and willing to learn. I loved her progression in this book and look forward to continuing to see that arc grow over the series.
The flow of action to quiet to intense to sweet was perfect. I loved the balance and felt like I got every angle I needed to love this book. I constantly felt a need to read one more chapter before putting it down because I was way too involved in every part of the story. I loved that the magic system and world building was a lot less confusing than I had found it in Legendborn. The expansion of everything worked really well here and I feel like I have a full grasp of the systems now.
I’m pretty sure this love triangle situation is out to torture me and I’m rolling with it for now. BUT DON’T WORRY, I HAVE A SIDE. I honestly have no idea how it’ll play out though.
The ending had my jaw drop and shouting, how did I not see that earlier?!. Which is the best kind of cliffhanger. I’m very much in love with this writing and storytelling and cannot wait to know what happens next.
Overall audience notes:
- YA Fantasy
- Language: a little strong
- Romance: kisses
- Violence: high
- Trigger/Content Warnings: racism, murder, physical and magical violence, references to slavery, PTSD, trauma, sexism, possession
