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.

⁕ The plot of this book was more quest-based than the last one. I struggled to remain engaged during Laia's and Elias' perspectives when there was extensive travel because it felt redundant and repetitive.
⁕ Helene is slowly making her way up there on my list of all time favorite female characters. The internal conflict she faces when choosing between her patriotism, family, and Elias is a DELICIOUS addition to the book. For the unrequited love interest, she is a fully-fleshed character that is glorious in all her flaws and fears.
⁕ [spoiler] HOLY PLOT TWIST. Tahir got me good and honest. It made absolute sense and I didn't see it coming.

We get to know our MCs more, and we also get other POVs from characters I liked and wanted to see more of in book 1. Generally, I don't like multiple POVs unless they are done right, and this book did it right. I wanted to know what was happening with everyone, not just the main two. This series has a fantastic cast of characters that glow ever brighter in this book. I think this one is my favorite story wise - I really enjoyed what was happening and the character development. The romance between our MCs is slow to build and secondary to the plot and characters, but it's subtle and powerful, just the way I like it, and it really starts to grow in this book. But I also love all the different kinds of love we get: romantic, friendship, familial, love of country and one's people, and everything in between.
