It is truly such a delight to see how much Brigid Kemmerer improves with each book she writes. I had fun with the original Cursebreaker series but this spin-off just is all the better! I was hooked every moment. I loved seeing new and old characters and getting to know Tycho better from the original series. Something I think Brigid writes so well is her characters and their relationships with each other, from friends to family, to romance. Each relationship is rich and well thought out, and made each page so worth reading. 

I also loved the political intrigue throughout this entire book and the themes of not everyone being good or evil. Everyone has their reason for doing things, whether it's the right thing to do or not. I feel like that's explored so well in this book and I'm so excited to see it dived into more in the sequel. I also love the themes of trauma explored a little in this novel and how Brigid Kemmerer handles those themes. It was so good to see this world expanded on and I can't wait for the sequel.
