I had so much fun reading this duology! We love a fantasy with some good old fashioned anti-fascist messaging and burning unjust systems to the ground. Also body positive trans rep! I’ll miss this world but Im happy with this ending and this story.

Honestly forgot the plot of the original and this one didn’t really grab me, and my hold lapsed multiple times. Want to make space in my reading queue for more books.

Ah, damn. I liked this one more than the first one, and I'd already enjoyed the first one a lot.

I'm really glad there's a YA fantasy that explores the way sometimes taking down one person or one institution isn't enough, sometimes systems are broken beyond repair, and you gotta try to fix it anyway. I liked that it didn't shy away from righteous (and less righteous sometimes, because Trauma amiright Wyatt) anger, and trauma, and dark stuff all the while staying really compassionate to its messy characters.

I loved that we got more exploration of the (queer)platonic relationship between Wyatt and Briar, and that it's portrayed as just as important as Wyatt's romantic relationship with Emyr. All the rep in this book is really cool anyway, the trans rep hut especially close to home at times lol.

It was just a great time, and I know I feel like I'm slowly growing out of YA, but not in a way that I want to stop reading it. It's more like instead of going "oh damn I NEEDED this book right now" this takes a backseat to "Oh I can see myself reccing this to students, and I can see them getting SO MUCH from this book" and this one is really one of these, yknow?
