5.0

One of the rare cases where the second book is better than the first in a series. Novik's monster-filled magical world is as gripping as ever, her characters just as deliciously tense and (for the most part) lovable. El, Aadhya, and Liu are the girl power threesome of my dreams, and the development of previously smaller or unknown people is done seamlessly alongside the plot. Excellent as always, and I cannot wait for the finale.
