Jumping into the second book without reading the first one normally wouldn't happen to me. But after reading this book I seriously want to read the first book. This had me on the edge of my seat, at times the characters had me shaking my head and other's rooting for them. I welcome this book to the collection.

It wasn't bad. I had a decent time. The only thing I struggled with was that you could tell the writing was really YA. Its not necessarily a bad thing, its just something I find myself not really enjoying. However, the story was so fun and intriguing that I wasn't compelled to DNF the book. I could still enjoy it.

So this book is a disappointment to me, especially because I remember really enjoying book one. However, I think with the lack of recapping the plot of book one into book two (i.e. dropping sentences like it's been a year since...) and the snail's like pacing, I really forgot what happened in book one and just didn't enjoy this one.

As I mentioned, all I remembered from book one was our MC was Lucifer's daughter and now she was a Queen. Everything that happened between that is a blur and typically in series, the first chapter subtly reintroduces you back into the story and we didn't get any of that. I may have enjoyed this book more if it wasn't months between reading book one and book two. But this is could also just be me and my reading preference. I also know that despite enjoying the first book, it clearly wasn't overly memorable for me.
But my biggest issue with this book was the pacing. I was already 30% in and nothing had happened. We were stuck in the same setting with the same people and I was already rolling my eyes. The pacing was <i>worse than slow.</i> And I am a reader who needs a fast-paced book.

This book just took me forever to read and I will admit to skimming reading a lot of chapters and not actually missing any of the plot. This was a shame because I really liked the first book and I love how pretty these covers are.

<I>I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.</i>

I have never heard of this author but I am so glad I discovered her. This book was super interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed this read. The main characters were unique and the plot was exciting. Awesome read!

This was such a gripping read, everything about it was so well done from the writing, the plot, the characters and the world building, i loved everything and i wanted to just keep reading and reading. The front cover is also stunning

This book took me on the best kind of adventures.
One of my top reads for 2021, I did enjoy this one more than the first but the first was pretty good.
The writing style was amazing and so descriptive.
Klara? Ugh she's so bada**
This book is a high 4⭐ for me.
