I enjoyed this book more than the last one, it was hard for me to put it down. It was great getting to learn more about the world and the characters, finally got a little peek into Cardan's past. As for the characters, I feel like Jude didn't really get any development this time around. She seems to be in the same space at the end of the book as she is at the start. Cardan got some great development though.

The end of this book has a fun little easter egg that anime fans will appreciate. I saw it and freaked out. 
It's Yuri on Ice! They are watching Yuri on Ice on the TV. As soon as I read the line I KNEW it was about Yuri on Ice.
