This book is just as good as Gilded Ones. The twists and turns were fantastic. Everything I thought I knew from the first book gets turned on it’s head. There are some moments I actually gasped out loud. Other moments I had tears in my eyes. The writing is just fantastic and the underlining themes are subtle but there if you look. I just love everything about it and now I can’t wait for book 3. I have sooo many questions and theories. I love it. Officially invested highly in all these characters though so I’m hoping they all make it through book 3.
Minor: Death, Fire/Fire injury, Gaslighting, Injury/injury detail, Kidnapping, Murder, Toxic relationship, Violence, War, Abandonment, Blood, and Emotional abuse
