I gobbled this thing up quicker than any other book. It's a big improvement from the first book in the series and just the right mix of plot and spicyness. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Love the pacy plot and the intrigue and the ethically flawed choices of most of the characters. I’m off to read the next book regardless of how late it is already tonight

WOW. I thought the first book was good but the second gas surpassed it! I read this entire book in about 2 days or so of travel. So much of the story had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. Even times my mouth literally opened in surprise at certain parts I couldn’t believe just happened. This story is definitely darker than the first, with so much at play for the characters. You find out even more about each person and Jude becomes even more of a badass than she was in the first book (although she faces MANY difficulties and small defeats). The ending though has made me almost mad 😡. LIKE WHAT?! You know if you’ve read this book what I’m talking about. What the heck is going to happen in the third book?!?!?!

I absolutely LOVE fantasy that is complex and all political (kinda funny since I'd rather give mithridatism a go over getting into politics) XD There's schemes and riddles, tension and just a small bit of that enemies to lovers goodness... I'm in love with the MC's and "side characters" alike... Seriously how can Bomb be so deadly and cute...

This books is AMAZING! I couldn’t stop reading! I think it might just be my favorite book I’ve ever read. The ending shocked me and I can’t wait to start the Queen of nothing!
