Just like the first book in this trilogy, this was again a fun, fast-paced read. I was especially excited to see Titania, the sentient spaceship, has a POV in here as well! There were some twists and turns I did not see coming.

However, I did wish some things were more resolved, especially when it comes to the characterization of some of the side characters. There motivations weren't always exactly clear, and that made it sometimes hard to stay invested in the story. I would especially have liked to see more of an exploration of Max and Alexi's characters.

This novel was magnificent! Mandanna created a rich and luscious set of worlds with a perfectly complex mythology that is deeply ingrained in the story itself. The relationships among the characters kept me invested in the story, and the conflicts among each person kept me invested in the story itself.

The only complaint I have about this book was that there's not more of it. I want more of this mythology, these worlds, these relationships. I wasn't ready to be done with this story.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with the ARC. This was a very anticipated read for me. I loved how this book felt like a perfect blend of both Sci-Fi and Fantasy elements and I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future!!

First of all ,Could we appreciate the beauty of this cover?!. I just love it.

Now , I loved the first book of this series way more than I expected so I was really excited to read the second book early.

The book was so good and it deserved the four stars . The reason to why it isn't five stars for me will come later.

I appreciate how the author started the novel because it worked as the perfect summary for me plus what I already remembered .The book had some twists and turns that I didn't see coming at all. One of them was really crazy for me.. I loved also how the places were described here to keep the atmosphere of the book without being annoying.

The characters:
Here we go,
Esmae:
I tried really hard to love her but couldn't for the life of me. It was just a feeling at first then it had its proof.I continued to hate her so that dropped the star from the rating.she was stubborn and selfish most of the time.

Titania:
Contrary to what I said above. I loved Titania and her point of view. She made me smile many times also made the story more interesting.

Alexi and bear:
We get so little of them.I really need more of both of them because I loved their parts alot. Also I couldn't hat Alexi .Whatever happened I couldn't hate him.(view spoiler)

The gods:
All of them had good points. They made the story progress and I liked how the author used them especially Amba.


Sybilla and Radha,
I won't say much,they were just a delight.I really hope we see them again in the next book.


I hated the ending not because it was a bad one . Contrary to that, I think the ending is a clever one and it made me really anticipating the next book. I hated it because of spoilers mostly but to keep it brief and vague ,It was Esmae's fault.
