Well, I just finished the second book in this two book series. Another good story that is again filled with intrigue, and brings the story of Lexos, Rhea, Nitsos and Chrysanthi to its conclusion. The difficulties between the siblings and the political factions continue. The story is well written and we see the consequences of decisions that were made by the characters in the first book. I don’t want to delve into the story because I am afraid that will spoil the story for readers. I dislike long reviews that give everything away. Suffice to say that if you enjoyed the first book, you should definitely read this book as well as I think you will enjoy it. Happy reading! And thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

This was a great sequel. The direction some of the characters went in was really different than in the first book, but as an overall arc it made sense and was really well done. The world-building is excellent and I had sympathy for the characters even when I didn’t really like them. The stakes of the book felt both like they’d impact the entire world of the book, and like they were incredibly personal to each character.

5/5 stars! I CANNOT with this book. I am SCREAMING! This book was utter perfection. I can't get over the laters of finesse and intricacy that took place throughout this book. I sadly couldn't finish it in one reading because it is a long, complex story. But I quickly finished it the next morning. Rhea and Lexos were both fully developed characters with their own hopes, dreams, and fears. I need more of them and more of this book. Everyone that enjoys heart-wrenching YA fantasy needs to pre-order this book immediately.

I received an advance review copy for free through NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily

Holy moly brown cow and bright sun this was a PROPER sequel. Some overall mysteries were brought to light and I truly could not put this down,
