a dramatic fantasy sequel with complex relationship dynamics and chaos?? absolutely. 

we really see an expansion of the world, the magic system and the characters within this which i absolutely loved!! also the new pov’s added so much and i enjoyed reading from different people so much (although i still hate that one character but she is so interesting to read from) and i found that the group dynamic grew as we had new characters introduced as well as new relationships. 

honestly i will always enjoy political fantasy and this leans into it but as the book progresses there is a larger focus placed on the military side, which was cool to see everyone in the same setting and being forced the work together to come to their goal

the twists in this. crazy. i was not expecting that jesus and the last few chapters have left me so excited to see where this series keeps going!

Thank you to the author for sending me a copy pre-publication!
