“Stop doing what it takes. Start asking yourself what’s needed.”
an invigoratingly brilliant follow-up to fireborne, with how rosaria munda expands on the world and brings in higher stakes to these beloved characters. they are truly put through the wringer even more, from grief to being at odds with one another on morals, ideals and doing what needs to be done in their positions. a new perspective from the side of new pythos was unexpected but much needed, i quickly grew attached to griff, his strength and resilience dealing with the dragonborn along with delo being the only dragonborn not classist and cruel, and can see how kind he is and genuine care in his heart. on the callipolis side there was many new dynamics, especially with annie's new position conflicting with her morals, her intriguing dynamic with power and lee's wavering loyalties, the political rifts amongst and war dangers for our guardians that i definitely want to get into another time. putting off furysong til later this month hopefully since i don't want this story to end so soon as furysong had just come out. but with this sequel, munda strikes again with causing pain upon my fragile heart and those last few pages had me reeling in shock.
full rtc when after reread.
“It feels brilliant and blinding and free, the clarity that comes with this realization. We’ll set our sights on the stars together. But they’re different stars, and we’ll stand back to back.”
