Wow. Just wow.
Ever since I read book one I knew I needed more. I needed to see more of Keera's journey and hopefully some happiness.
This book gives us so much...I spend most of today just glued to its pages.
There were ups and downs, surprises, betrayals, and so much more. This volume had me extremely emotional from beginning to end. I will always root for Keera and her happiness 😭
With as emotional and this book made me...I equally am excited and scared of what volume 3 will bring us. 😅

I do have a few bones to pick with this installent of the series, unfortunately. There are quite a few typos and simple mistakes in this book, which was surprising considering how polished the previous one was. I was sometimes confused by the sentences and had to reread them a few times, and in places the writing was simply incorrect. This took away from the reading experience for me. I'm a stickler for spelling errors and grammar mistakes, alas.
I have mixed feelings on the ending of this book. No spoilers, but there is a big reveal that I didn't think was foreshadowed in a satisfying way. To me the ending was a bit rushed and felt disjointed from the remainder of the narrative. The ending made sense in theory, but is just didn't feel "right", for lack of a better word. Definitely the weakest point in the story for me. I understand fast pacing, but as a reader I needed more time to digest the newly revealed information before the big finale kicked off. Overall this book was great and tore at my heartstrings in all the best ways. I think the ending was a bit of a let down and thus this book pales in comparison compared to A Broken Blade. Great series, great author, and I cannot wait for the next one!
