I really enjoyed the second of this series. The plot was interesting and tense, I enjoyed seeing how Anton and Calla's relationship evolved, the magic system really came into its own, and the ending was a satisfying resolution to this story while also setting everything up for the next installment. There were times when the magic and the other got a little too convoluted, or complex, and I wasn't sure I knew exactly what was happening, but this didn't bother me too much. I don't mind a little healthy frustration if I'm invested enough to want the answers, which I certainly did here. Very solid follow-up to Immortal Longings. Well done, Ms Gong 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
