This surprised me. I loved the first one so much I was worried the sequel would ruin it. The ending is a happy one, and I feel wraps it up well. The magic is explained, and specifically Anna’s role in everything. She still remains kind, even after all she goes through and I honestly love that so much. She’s a protagonist where it isn’t a weakness but a strength. I love the twist with the ring, and also the twist with Malik.

The death of Eira was painful but was so important. I hate when deaths are used for shock but never have consequences. The author really uses Eira to bring about the First’s demise.

There weren’t really any unanswered questions and everyone got a happy ending. The romance is as beautiful as ever, the devotion intense. These two are the definition of ride or die. Anna srill remained so humane despite being immortal and this was just a beautiful duology I absolutely devoured (like that peach)
