A wonderful second half to this duology. I found the series as a random KU ad and initially confused it with Gild. Fortunately, this was 100x better than Gild and will stay with me.
This is a love story, between Anna and Khiran, but it's also an adventure and exploration of human resiliency. I enjoyed meeting the rest of the immortals (and their powers), especially Cassius and Kaia. Love control and sea queen are powerful stuff.
Khiran remained endearing and lovable while still having an inherent rascal nature. I liked seeing him live as a mortal at a Nepalese Buddhist monastery and as a teacher in Australia.
The story is subtle in how it interacts with famous historical events. That's not the focus. Anna's heart balancing Khiran's zest for life. She may be scared of a new place and he's distrustful of the people, but they find a balance.
Great ending, exactly what I wanted.
