Hear me out, I just finished and I'm all over the place with this.
The story of this series itself, I love.
This book, was wild and not in a great way but I did like it and will keep reading !

To add: Trigger warnings for war crime and at the very least, slave/selling slave insinuation.
Pros:
I like how we got more lore about the Maji and information about the magic.
I liked finding out what happened after the end of book 1.
Much to the argument of others, I still love Zélie as a character, shes flawed, emotional, irrational but so caring and gives her all to save people even when she could die.

Cons:
The plot between inbetween the start and end 15%.. where?
This book was character driven, which isn't a bad thing except book 1 was plot driven and some character interactions were pointless.
The pacing was worse than the first book which made some parts boring.
Also I hate HATE like every other character. Amira and Inan made me mad enough to want to throw the book. Not a fan of Roën either and he's been giving me sus vibes for ages.
