This book picks up a few months after the events of the first book. You definitely need to read the first book or you’ll be lost. The action in this one takes place mainly at the court which adds new challenges for Joan. She’s obviously out of her element and makes some pretty big mistakes. Luckily, her friends and family are there to help her fight when everything goes South and it does fairly quickly with the fae gaining power and numbers by the day. I enjoyed this one, it felt like the author was more comfortable, the world and characters already established so she could just let the action play out. Can’t wait for the conclusion.

very cool series of Black Orisha-Blessed twins living in Elizabethan London who act with Shakespeare's players. The heroic female MC must deal with racism, classism and the Fae, who are trying to take over london. I loved the after-chapters which described the real people and events that had been adapted into the book.

Fun romp of a mid-trilogy book that gets to focus on court moves and leans more into being ok with triads as solutions to the love triangle dilemma, which I am a huge fan of as a little bisexual nerd who read a lot as a girl. Things end up going off fairly suddenly, and gets a bit farther away from the historical part of the last book (though there is a good explainer in back for those who want to know more!), but I can't wait to see where the final book in the trilogy goes. Also, baller as hell cover.
