This was a 4.5 star for me - yet another fantastic read from Dana! I did like Book 1 more, but I think it's mostly that I wasn't into the flashbacks to Eva's parents' POVs. Otherwise, I absolutely devoured this. Thank you to The Nerd Fam for the gifted ARC.

This picks up after the cliffhanger from Book 1 and takes us on an epic adventure to save the world. I really enjoyed how the characters acknowledge and poke fun at the absolutely impossible tasks they are setting out to achieve - it almost felt like breaking the fourth wall in a really fun way. I adored this found family in Book 1 and it's so nice to see their relationships grow and develop (and the found family expand!) in this book. I love that it's not just the MMC who is protective of our FMC - it's the entire group.

This book ends on such a satisfying note that I'm nervous that it's a trilogy - what else could happen?! Still, I'll be eagerly awaiting Book 3 and can't wait to dive into even more of this world and with this cast of characters. Highly recommend this series!

Definitely some dark themes in this book - be sure to check trigger warnings before you read!
