this book is very dark and twisted, and the characters are so complex it was always so hard to understand everything they did or said.
and i personally love when a book makes me THINK, and develop theories on why the characters in the story are acting the way that they are and stuff like that, i literally could not stop writing my thoughts on the margins of the book. loved it.

i found the stories even better than the previous book and i adore how much more focus there was on both the magical side of this world and on Malini and Bhumika’s political schemes.
loved it, can’t wait for the last book!!

i saw someone descrive this book as “an acid trip written in second person” and i can’t help but agree, loved it.

Priya, Malini and Bhumika’s characters really left an impact on me, they’re such excellently written characters with very interesting journeys. i will absolutely be reading book 2 and from where things left off i already know i’m gonna love it.

the writing is the absolute best thing ever, Gideon’s narration was so funny and definitely my favorite thing here, i never wanted to put the book down.

this book had it’s weaker moments, i really think it could’ve been much shorter and the pacing wasn’t that great.
some POVs (especially at the beginning) were kinda boring. it felt off how i had to read about Aedion’s whiny complains and Chaol and Yrene’s shitty idea to meet his parents while the POVs revolving around Dorian/Manon & Aelin/Fenrys and the “looking for Aelin” team were just so much better?
the reunions, the reveals and the action/battles were absolutely the best parts of that book, i had so much fun there. and i have almost zero complains about the ending, i loved these characters so much and i would absolutely read more of this world.
