Still a bit more dark than my usual reads, but it never went overly far while still keeping the stakes high and tension in place.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.

This book moves slower than the first one which was hard to keep my focus at times. However, the story does pick up around 60% and i started to become more engaged with it. I am looking forward to continuing the series and I'm looking forward to starting the third book.

I had a wonderful time reading this book. I'm glad I'm easily influenced and someone convinced me to read this series. I liked Laia and Elias and their relationship. The worldbuilding was good.
