TOMI ADEYEMI GOIN 2 FOR 2! This book gave me so much stress & anxiety but I couldn't put it down! AMARI...GIRLLLL you fucked up BADDDDD. Like there's not coming back from what you've done.

Forcing your way into being a Connector elder, leading Inan to the sanctuary, SACRFICING ZÉLIE & HER VILLAGE

ALL FOR THAT STUPID THRONE??? ARE YOU DAFT?? Inan...I still don't like you but you weren't eggregiously terrible like in Book 1. QUEEN NEHANDA YOU SKIN- BLEACHED BITCHHHHHHHHHHH

YOU'RE THE REASON THE MAJI ARE OPRESSED IN THIS CURRENT ERA?? YOU KILLED SARAN'S FATHER??? I HOPE YOU'RE DEAD

I just want Zélie & Tzain to catch a break maneeee. They been through so much. Röem...I don't feel anything for him tbh. I just don't want Zélie's heart broken again so I'm keeping him at arm's length. Tzain's realization about

Amari's plan to sacrifice Zélie was so well-written! I could feel the pain in his voice!

That's how you know an author's perfecting their craft. When you can feel the emotions of characters through words. 

I can't wait to read Book 3!!

I didn’t think it was possible for this one to destroy me more than the first, but here I am. Destroyed. 

SO well done. I had to pace myself because the darkness and hate were so well written that I needed breaks. My heart is still aching for each of the characters, and for how desperately I just wanted them to listen to one another.
