4.0
This book surpassed the first one by offering more plot development. The second book focused more on the war aspect and the character development of Dacre, which is why I preferred it over the first book. The dynamics of war and the conflicting sides that Iris and Rowan find themselves on were well explored.
While new characters were introduced, there wasn't much depth to them, making them easy to forget. One aspect that was lacking in the series as a whole was the development of the world's backstory and origins, particularly the Underlings and the Skywards. This made it difficult for me to fully immerse myself in the series as a Fantasy.
I believe that this series would have been better suited as a historical fiction romance rather than a fantasy romance. I would have easily liked this series without the fantastical elements in it. The ending left me feeling underwhelmed due to the lack of worldbuilding and explanation for the ongoing war. Overall, I liked the book but did not love it, as it kept me engaged with the plot but fell short of fully explaining the world and the reasons behind the conflict.
I really wished Rebecca would write another book to tie up the loose ends.
