Me at several points in this book:
😧😧😧😧😧 what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the FUCK???
It’s so rare to find a sequel that is better than the first book but this is it. It picked up when Darrow is almost done with the academy and Augustus decides to
There are even more twists and turns in this book I think I have jaw problems from how much my jaw was dropped the whole book😭. Make sure you have the sequel to read immediately after because this ends on the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers. I hope to get a physical copy to read along with the audiobook next time because there are a lot of names and places introduced, and they’re hard to keep track of just hearing them.

- I had a bit if a hard time getting into this book, mostly because the feeling of having to read another ~1200 pages to finish the series was kind of daunting
- But then I ended up finishing the majority of the book in one day, so it was absolutely captivating!
- Almost as good as the first one, but of course higher stakes and more complicated politics
- Lost focus a bit during the big fighting bits
- Love how nothing is ever quite how it seems, everyone is scheming all the time
- Starting the third book immediately!
