Not even a third of the way through, I was certain this book would exceed my love for the first book and I was right. I love the growth of the characters and watching both Jude and Cardan learn how to shed the lessons they learned about themselves and love from their toxic parental figures, learn how to have ambition without greed, and learn how to find their strength in their vulnerabilities. I was reluctant to finish this book because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to this story. 

I truly love the inclusion of Ben, Hazel, and Severine as well as the inclusion of their lore. It was nice having references of them before. But to see them and have Jude interact with them was a great addition to the world.

To be honest, the book is ass. A few years ago I almost rated it 5 stars but that was just my love for Jurdan and the fairies speaking.

Nothing much happens, and whatever does is too convenient. The writing is so repetitive. Jude is passive and uninteresting, Cardan is absent for most of the novel. Actually, Jude is straight up dumb in this one. Frustrating how she couldn't solve the simplest riddles living in this world for so long (and it happens 3(!) times). 

I don't know, whatever, it exists. Not much to say.
