Thank you to the author for the chance to ARC read!
If Veiled Skies started out slow and turned up the pace toward the end, this was action packed from the start. I loved getting to know the fantastical creatures better in this book!
Deming went through gut wrenching grief that was very difficult to read at times but her healing arc was beautiful to witness. Deming and Nikita's relationship was so fun to read too, I've been waiting for them to figure things out and here we go!
The first book was full of questions with some revelations and answers at the end. This sequel had both, many questions but so many answers too. I felt the characters' frustration with so much happening, yet feeling stuck not being able to do anything.
With the first book I had some issues keeping up, but that was long gone with this one. The writing was still beautiful but slightly clearer and easier to follow.
My main minus that lowers my rating from 5 to 4,5 stars is because the priorities sometimes confused me. A rescue mission was a big priority, yet time passed with only brief mentions of when it should happen, but very little planning or work toward making the mission happen seems to be shown. I hoped for some more mentions of meetings about plans etc. Seeing that they were actively working on their mission would've raised this to 5 stars.
