I am loving this series. Very interesting and diverse world. I really enjoyed the relationships that continued to form between the group of main characters. The story is definitely taking off. People are having to choose sides and decide what they are willing to  stand for. Excited to see our FMC continue to develop her powers. Gotta love a story where the future of the world hinges on the backs of a group of young people!

I loved this one but this gets further into the things that happened in the first one and has a very early Holocaust feel from the Gardnierians

Loved the way the romance developed in this book compared to the last one. Felt like this book was overall less strong than book 1, but still really enjoyed it. The revelations at the end were so cool!

It’s rare when the sequel is just as good as book 1! But man this was so good. More connections to the overall situation are being made, more character growth, more world building!!!! Love it!!
