Thank you to the Tor team for gifting me with a copy of this book.
I loved getting back into this series, the first book had a bit of slow start but this one dived straight back in. So everyone assumed that the dragon that Gill killed was the only one but oh boy were they wrong, of course they were wrong. So while Gill and Solène go their separate ways, there are sightings of 3 young dragons - so it’s safe to say that dragons have returned to the world and I was hear for this.

With the characters, it’s much the same thoughts for me; I liked that we get more from Solène in this book than we did in the first, seeing her journey into learning how to better control her magic. I thought Gill’s struggle with his alcohol addiction was written really well, however I still despise the Prince Bishop with a vengeance and really hope he gets what he deserves - guess I’ll need to read book three ;) - although he definitely knows how to manipulate people into getting his own way. My favourite thing about this book though is that through the dragon’s point of view we get to learn more about them, for example the enlightenment (which no spoilers so you’ll have to read these books to find out).

I would definitely recommend these books to anyone who loves stories with dragons and magic in them. I will 100% be getting book three so I can see how the series ends
