This book contained some great political intrigue and I loved the development of the relationship between Touraine and Luca. I would like to read the final book in this trilogy as soon as it is physically possible to.

The Faithless was not perfect to me in the way that the Unbroken was, but it was an excellent continuation of the story. There were things that I wanted more of--Pruett and the Fingers, mostly--and overall I felt like the book could have been longer, but I anticipate those aspects taking center stage more in book three. I kept expecting the French Revolution, which meant that I was not expecting most of the plot twists. I loved the relationships. I loved the ties between magic and religion. I loved Touraine's character arc, and Luca's as well. I loved the expanded cast and the expanded world. I loved the ongoing commentaries about colonialism and decolonization. I eagerly await book three.

I think the writing was better than this one and the plot was a bit clearer, hence the higher rating but otherwise, I liked our main characters and their dynamic is interesting. Keen to see what happens next

All of the characters are so true to their roles and yet grow beyond who they were and into who they could be. An excellent plot with twists, turns, murder, and consequences. A fantastic sequel to book 1 and the stage is set for book 3.
