5.0

This was everything a sequel should be, imo. All the chaos from the first book needed to be processed while power players moved and planned.

This was a perfect villain story for the Asteri akin to Empire Strikes Back. It was set up and played beautifully, and honestly saved this book from being simply another grand romantasy.

The pacing for the twists and truth behind actions was perfect; though the rebel movement storyline did not make much sense to me, it set up the broader world and bigger threats very well.

Bryce was a bit annoying, and Hunt was a bit underwhelming, but the supporting cast was absolutely incredible. Team Ruhn.

I loved parts of this book. The character development is 💯 Bryce and Hunt being confirmed mates just made me happy. They really do deserve each other. Getting multiple POVs just enhanced the reading experience for me as you get both Bryce's and Hunts perspective on the rebellion. Seeing how Hunts failed rebellion haunts him and how worried he is for Bryce just pulls at your heartstrings. My one grievance with this book is the fact that the plot relies so heavily on Danika (that could change after HOFAS)
