An excellent book from start to finish! Such a compelling sequel, had me hooked from the very first page, and went straight into the action without all the preamble from the first book. Every character had a great and thought out storyline, and again I was so utterly enchanted by the dark fairytale of Blunder.

This is a solid addition to the series. I enjoyed the multiple POVs I only wish we got more from Elspeth. Overall a solid fantasy series with a very unique aesthetic. Definitely recommend picking this up in the fall if you’re more of a mood reader.

The story alludes to ther trigger warnings more than fully describing them. This is a darkly themed book. The finale to a riveting duology.
