Okay, so I had a teensie obsession with book one, and I literally wouldn’t shut up about it. But SOMEHOW Kelsey has outdone herself. Book two is even better. The world building is bigger, the story is beautifully written and so interesting and exciting. The characters are SO intriguing.
Gah, the way I’ve read and reread this book since I got my grubby little hands on it is probably obsessive. I absolutely love these characters, the romantic tension, the suspense, the QUESTIONS.
This one delves deeper into the world Rayleigh is originally from, Niccodra! There is a lot of beauty in Niccodra that we don’t really get to see because EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING. The politics, a scary king, worries about Ray’s friends and mom and brother— not to mention Ray is trying to learn how to use her powers, and the Drakalasson are running around claiming fae! IT IS BONKERS, and the stakes are HIGH.
We meet some new Fae, new Drakalasson, new DRAGONS… so many new dragons 😍
From the end of book one I NEEDED answers, and while I got a few answers in this book, I really came away with a TON more questions, a broken heart, some giant worries for some of my favorite characters, and maybe a little hope.
