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,
