There were a lot of twists in this. And I liked how sometimes one character’s perspective was purposely not gone back to regularly to keep the suspense for the reader about how all things were progressing.
Chakraborty conveyed the complexity of emotions and relationships between people very well as things progressed in this book. And I’m very interested to see how things continue into the third book.

The character development is just so good. I felt so completely drawn into the storyline and into the lives of those included.
Similar to the first book, I’d say the last 25-30% of this book has the height of action, though I didn’t feel as the first 65-70% ever really dragged on. It was quite captivating, IMO.
Very excited to read the last book!

Pour les personnages, alors que je les appréciais dans le précédent, iels deviennent carrément attachants. Le développement de Nahri est fabuleux. Elle se prend enfin en main. Il y a beaucoup de femmes présentes dans celui ci, ce qui manquait dans le premier. Ali est encore plus engagé dans sa lutte anti classe à Daveabad. Dara commence à utiliser son cerveau et son bon sens tout en restant un ennemi terrifiant.
Hâte de lire la suite !

The plot builds to a tense climax, and sets up new problems to be dealt with (hopefully!) in the next book. Which I look forward to reading!
