Even though I loved Dark Age, this book is thick and it definitely felt like it. This story definitely gave me a better appreciation for Iron Gold, but it was great to get Virginia’s POV and spend more time with the old gang.
Pierce Brown does a phenomenal job of exploring what it means to be a hero and the cost of the choices you have to make. I loved getting to see the war/rebellion from different sides and perspectives. The character growth amazes me. I definitely have a better appreciation for Ephraim, while Lyria has quickly become one of my favorite characters.
This story has many twists and turns and is equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring. There were many moments that left me with my mouth on the floor and left me speechless. Other parts made me laugh showing me that there can still be joy in the darkest of times.
Up next Lightbringer and I am so nervous for this next one.
