I loved this book! 

This time, we get multiple POVs and more backstory for the Nightmare! Elm's POV was interesting as we dealve deep into the political side. We also get a sweet romance. Elspeth's POv is where we learn so much more about the Nightmare (since the events of the first book). These were some of my favorite chapters! Lastly is Ravyn's POV. His is where most of the Providence Card plot comes into play. There are some really great and heartbreaking moments in these sections, especially near the end!

The Nightmare is by far my favorite part of this book. He's so much more than just the monster he seems to be. 

While the romance between Elspeth and Ravyn wasn't the focus, there were still some sweet moments. Another romance took hold, which I won't spoil. I will admit it wasn't my favorite part. It was still really sweet. 

This duology was so much more than I expected! If you're looking for a great Gothic fantasy, please do yourself a favor and pick k this one up!
