“I will find you,” Anharion said. “I will always find you. Try to run.”
That ending has left me unwell.
There is such a huge difference in pacing between the first book and this one. I was engaged throughout, and across all the different perspectives, which doesn't happen that often.
The highlights of this book are definitely Will and James, aka Sarcean and Anharion. Their dynamic just hit all my buttons. I have 62 highlights on Kindle, and I'm sure that 80% are related to these two. And it's complex, too, because is this really a romance, considering all the things we know as the reader, that James isn't privy to? And yet it feels like one. It's such a slow burn between them, with so many good moments and quotes. I also feel like there's still more to discover about their relationship in the past, that not all is as it seems there.
All in all, I really appreciate what Pacat is doing with this story, and I'm so excited to find out how it concludes.

I understand why the need for multiple POVs, especially if you have characters in different locations, but I just couldn’t warm up to some of them. The fact that I didn’t quite like a few of the characters kept me from reading more at times. I also missed Violet terribly. I hope the next book focuses more on her again.
Some of the revelations really caught me by surprise! I’m honestly clueless as to how this story is going further developed, but I’ll gladly stick around to find out.
