5/5★
IT‘S CRIMINAL THAT I NOW HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR FOR THE NEXT BOOK!! This ending istg… I‘M FREAKING FLABBERGASTED, SHOCKED, MIND-BLOWN… I just don’t know what to do with myself now!! How the hell am I supposed to wait this long to know how it continues?!?!?!
Istg I was the edge of my goddamn seat throughout the last few chapters! Like… the twists and turns once again had my jaw on the FLOOR!!! Especially the ending. I‘m not okay and I won’t be okay, until I know how it’ll end!!!
This was just absolutely EVERYTHING!!! I just loved each and every second I was reading this book! Literally flew through it like it was nothing! It was addicting, captivating and interesting throughout it all!! This series deserves so much more hype! I don’t get how people aren’t gushing about it on booktok?!?! Like it’s AMAZING!!!
The plot, the romance, the main characters, the side characters, the world… just everything was sooooo well done!! The writing was also once again amazing! Brigid Kemmerer is a true genius. She just knows how to write incredible YA, fantasy books!!
What I loved most about this book, was finding out so much more about Harristan! I loved him already in book 1 but I FELL in love with him in this one! He‘s most definitely my favourite character in the series and I NEED more of him!! His POVs were everything and finding out all about his secrets and what has been going on in his mind was everything!!
His side of the story carried this book for me! I really hope that we will see even more development of his character in the last book! I need more of his POVs!!
Corrick is and will always be my baby. He deserves the world and reading about his insecurities and issues literally broke my heart. He‘s literally so misunderstood and I just want everyone in this story to love him as much as I do! Just glad that things finally got better with Tessa.
Him and Tessa really had my heart aching, breaking and healing all at once! I can’t believe that people aren’t talking that much about them!! They‘re literally so adorable and had me on freaking knees fr!!! Like the tension, banter and chemistry these two had?!?! Ugh… amazing!! Love them sooooo much!!
The side characters were also all so interesting!! Hope they‘ll continue to play a big role in the next book! Especially Rian! I‘m kinda invested in his past and story and why he is the way he is! He‘s a very intriguing character!!
The plot also was not lacking whatsoever in this book!! It had my attention from beginning to end and I can’t wait to see it continue on! I really need to know what happens next! It’s not a want it’s a NEED!!!
Overall, this series is definitely up in my top 10 fav fantasy series now!! And I just know that book 3 will be just as amazing if not even better!!! Highly recommend!

@Amina Thank you so much, ml 💛
I too can't wait until next year, that ending is brutal 🫢I'm so glad you enjoyed this! even though I did like the first one more, I still agree that it was an amazing book. I feel like we got to know so much more about the characters and met sooo many new interesting people!!
awesome review! 💞
@line Agree with everything you just said! Thank you so much 💗
Great review,I need the next book right now!Most sequels don't live up to the first book but for me this one does.The story and characters developed ,Tessa became slightly annoying as she believed everything everyone told her despite knowing how desperate Harriston and Corrick were ,Rian was a great new addition and Harriston finally came into his own.I loved his parts of the story too and definitely hope there's more of him in the next one.Great read.
