The second book in the series, and probably my favorite of the series. Mainly character driven and the emotional journeys are so beautifully crafted. So many mysteries and plots. There's a lot of details to remember about the worldbuilding but this isn't an impediment from enjoying the book. The action really picks up in the end and I loved every heart-wrenching second of it.

For the middle of a trilogy, this wasn't terrible. But I will say that it takes a while to get going. 

I don't like Muntadhir.
I have mixed feelings about Dara.
Ali has had great character development. 
And I know that Menizheh is definitely not the greatest person people think she's supposed to be.

A tad too long, but the last 100 pages had me on the edge of my seat. So curious to see how this is all gonna wrap up.

I love Ali, my murderous little cinnamon roll with little head for political strategy.
