Revolutions are rarely clean, no matter how well-meaning or necessary. At least, that's an excuse a lot of people will march out once things get bloody. Our main cast may have good intentions, but do their allies? Who are their allies? Treason is always a possibility. So is seeing different solutions to the same problem.

Since this is book 2 in a trilogy, I don't want to spoil anything. All I can say is that things get dark, but that darkness feels earned. Can't wait to read the finale!

The layers of character development, world building an expertly hidden plot twists blew me away. I'm pissing shitting crying throwing up and screaming into the void. This series is absolutely amazing 😭🥰

Glad I chose to read this as soon as I finished the first book since I was afraid I'd forget all of the world building done in it.
This is where the story paved by The First Sister allows its characters to truly shine, and it was fascinating. It was honestly a fantastic read, definitely give it a chance if you were at all hooked by The First Sister. Now onto the third one!

Fantastic continuation to the first book, expands on the universe and adds to the story without missing a beat or dropping in quality. Definitely recommend and will be picking up the next one.

This book does an excellent job of setting me up to think something is going to happen and then pivoting and going completely elsewhere in these constant little subversions. I keep going "I recognize this trope, I know where we're going" and just nope, not there. I love it.

This book pulled off making me actively reconsider my opinion of a character I considered irredeemably annoying (Hiro). They're still kind of annoying, but I will recognize good writing and character work.
