Not quite 5 stars worthy on a second read (partially affected by my own slump, poor reading environment, and also depends on how Fury of the Gods is), but it's still a great book and good sequel. The ending is so explosive and heart-racing. And reading that cliffhanger again...😭. The setup for the final book is so crazy and I'm so hyped to read it. It's almost here!

Original review:

5 ⭐

This book took everything great about the first book, and somehow improved it to make an even more captivating story.

The plot for all our POV characters were entirely engaging, the action felt potentially slightly more vivid, and the scale of the story is expanding in an epic fashion. I loved everything about this book, and I cannot wait for the final book. I also can't wait to hopefully read the rest of Gwynne's works next year. He's already an all-time favorite author. Great stuff.
