This is Book 2 in the Inferno’s Heir Duology.

I loved this book so much. It is just as good as Book 1. This book has political intrigue, rebel schemes, extortion, heists, and redemption. We follow Teia on her journey of redemption after her betrayals in Book 1.

Teia has so much growth in this book becoming a better and stronger version of herself. This is a healing book of self discovery for Teia with plenty of adventure, heists and schemes. I love how she is always one step ahead of everyone. Even the reader! She gives me Ocean’s 11 vibes when she lets you in on the scheme!

This book is a page turner. It is very hard to not read in one setting.

This duology gives The Cruel Prince vibes as Teia and Jude are so much alike… BA QUEENS! Go read this duology!! You won’t regret it!

Thank you so much Bindery Books and NetGalley for the eARC

Thank you to Bindery Books and Netgalley who provided me with an eARC of this book for review purposes. All opinions are my own.


We rejoin our heroes for the conclusion of the Inferno’s Heir duology in this book. Just like the last, it features political intrigue, action, and–best of all–heists.

I enjoyed this book even more than the first, especially as the characters all felt more fleshed out and complex. I had difficulty connecting to Teia in the last book, but very much enjoyed watching her grapple with her own moral flexibility in this book. She is not a soft or sympathetic character, but that is one of the things that I enjoy best about her. I would have appreciated a bit more tension between the characters due to her actions at the conclusion of the first novel, but the excitement of the various schemes and heists more than made up for it.

My biggest complaint is that the story, while not ended on a cliffhanger, doesn’t quite feel finished to me. I feel like there is so much more left to tell, and was vaguely unsatisfied by the ending. I suppose if a book’s biggest failing is that it leaves you wanting more of the story and the world that the characters inhabit, it’s not really much of a failing at all.

That being said, I hope that the author doesn’t leave us too long without a new work–whether with these characters or in a whole new cast from her imagination. I will definitely pick up a copy whenever that happens.

as a second book in the series I had high hopes for it and was so excited to complete this story and then the second book came and really did lifted my expectations again for the author upcoming books , I don't like spoiling any books i read anyway so for my honest review for it if you liked the first , you will worship the second book , there is more development for the characters we didn't see in Inferno's Heir so yes highly recommended duology

[a copy of this book was provided to me by the published from netgalley. thank you!]

a thrilling conclusion to the inferno heirs series. i felt that the characters’ relationships could’ve done with some more development, but the story was overall intriguing

Inferno's Heir has become one of my favorite duologies - it's the perfect combination of Six of Crows, Avatar, and The Poppy War, with fresh takes on morally gray characters.
Teia has become a favorite protagonist for me - her ruthless ambition combined with her fierce love and protectiveness for her loved ones makes her a fascinating and complex heroine. I would have liked to see more development from the cast of characters - while Enna and Tobias are important to the plot, I didn't feel a very deep connection to them, and I would have liked to learn more about them on their own and not in relation to Teia.
The plot was extremely fun and I loved that it was set in Shaylan. The idea of Memory Keepers was really interesting and the worldbuilding was done really nicely. Tiffany Wang did an amazing job creating a whole new setting while maintaining the same tone and pacing as the first book.
The open ending was also appreciated and I am so very excited to see where Tiffany Wang goes with her writing. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Bindery Books for the eARC!!

I do have to say that I did like the first book more than this sequel.

This sequel picks up right after the events of the previous book, The Inferno's Heir, with Teia having succeeded. She now has a new task to focus on, a journey to another country to warn them of the threats and dangers to come. She now has the dilemma of working alongside those she betrayed. Oopsy.

I think this book dragged quite a bit more than the previous one, so that made it hard for me to get invested. Some moments were more rushed-feeling and others dragged on unnecessarily. Pacing in a fantasy is so important to me. And when it's that back and forth, it really pulls me out of the story.

I did really like that we got to explore more of this world in this book. We learn more about the different countries, the political climate and drama, and how they all connect.

Overall, this was a fun little duology with such pretty covers. I am impressed with this new author and am interested to see what else she creates.

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review! My Goodreads review is up and my TikTok (Zoe_Lipman) review will be up at the end of the month with my monthly reading wrap-up.

I don't think this was quite as well-paced and structured as the first one, however, I did continue to enjoy the story. For most of the story, I went between sections in which I was really engaged and sections in which I was less engaged. It is because of this that my rating is closer to a solid four. Outside of that critique, the exploration into another of the five kingdoms was awesome. I think it added more to the overall view of the world being crafted. I definitely suggest this duology though, I just wish there were more books to further explore the rest of the five kingdoms.

I was so excited to see this on netgalley (I somehow didn't know the sequel existed and screamed when I saw it) that I IMMEDIATELY devoured it. This book absolutely holds up to the first in the series while expanding on a lot of the concepts and world building in ways I was ITCHING to see in the first book. I loved getting to see more of this world and to meet new characters, and the pacing was much quicker and easy than before. I found falling into the story effortless and it was so great to return to these characters and see them brought to new heights.

Wang is a new stand out author, with a fresh voice and the ability to grab a reader from the very start and never let go. I'm so grateful to have read this duology early and I can't wait to see what this author does next!

I want to shout from the roof tops how much I loved this book, Tiffany does such a great job of bringing it to life it makes my heart race.

I'm so glad I was chosen to ARC read both of the books.
