multiple depictions of PTSD flashbacks and anxiety attacks. Well written panic which can be triggering.

ptsd nightmares and flashbacks are about dead parent.

This was less enjoyable than the first. It had some really good parts, but I was left feeling incredibly unsatisfied.

I read this directly after the first book and I loved that it started directly where book one ended.

For me this book felt much more mature than book 1, and that made it so much more compelling.

Amora is dealing with grief, she has lost her power and her father and as a result has terrible nightmares and panic attacks. She is used to solving her problems alone and doesn’t know how to ask for help but through the course of the book learns to trust and be vulnerable with her found family.

I loved the relationship in this book, it felt mature and not perfect but because it wasn’t perfect it made it feel real. They were willing to challenge each other, talk out their problems and grow stronger through being together…

The ending made me cry. I didn’t think I would but as those last few pages came and went I felt the tears fall down my face at the loss of memory of Ferrick

What put book 1 down for me was the too predictable plot points, this book did not have them… I didn’t know the twists and turns before they happened and couldn’t see them happening until they did.

The writing is phenomenal… and I cannot wait to read more books by Adalyn Grace if this is the quality of her stories.

This was much darker than I am usually comfortable with, and until the last 75% I was annoyed with the writing. But something beautiful happened in the last 100 pages when it all fits together, and you felt like you were there, which for me was the first time I just fell into the book. It was very emotional for me, and I cannot remember a time when I laughed and deeply sobbed at the same time, never mind from a book! I will let both ideas be food for thought, but I cannot recommend this book to someone who hates slow character development or overcoming their struggles.

better than the previous book, in this sequel we get to explore more of the islands and the types of magic which was something i really enjoyed, however i found the main character and the narration very irritating at times.

The descriptions are gorgeous and I like the magic in the world. The legends are well thought out and woven into the story well. I do think amora could have been more developed, especially in this book, since she was so closed off for lost of it then seemed to open up instantly. But that’s my biggest complaint. Otherwise it’s a good book, a well done ending to the duology
