AND NOW THEY KNOW ABOUT DARROW?!?!? I knew I couldn’t trust Roque like something was off about him and I WAS RIGHT. the fact that adrius played them all and was working with Aja / cassius like frick man. The last chapter just smacked me around like i honestly don’t even know what to think right now.
MORE OF A REVIEW about the book now.
Okay so I think it’s tough to compare this to book 1 because this is much larger scale and we are definitely seeing the bigger plans unfolding and such. we got to see darrow get knocked down and get back back up more in this and we definitely got way more family tea for the bellonas AND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO CLAUDIUS. like the way that Adrius DEVISED that whole plan and paid Karnus to kill him??? and learning about how augustus made his way to the top???? like the backstories were wild.
LORN! man i feel so sad that he’s gone because i was loving the whole master / apprentice relationship him and darrow had. like when darrow was fighting cassius and just drops the fact that he was training with lorn like that was so dope. but yea lorn was just chilling in retirement with his grandkids but now he’s dead and it’s just so sad. i think he genuinely cared for darrow… another friend added to the dead list :(
MUSTANG / MEAPER okay so definitely lost my mind when pliny and augustus were talking about mustang’s “horizontal diplomacy” with cassius like that’s so bad but so funny. ANYWAYS THATS BESIDES THE POINT. okay so obvi after book 1 I was like okay mustang and darrow yes!!! and then this book essentially says that when darrow chose to go to the academy he kinda chose that over mustang which made their relationship rocky. then mustang goes with cassius BUT MA GIRL IS TEN STEPS AHEAD AS ALWAYS and was actually doing this to play cassius and get info and such. so she slayed there. anyways for the rest of the book there’s this like unspoken tension and you just know they both want to give in to the other but they DONT and so many times it’s said like there were so many unspoken words in the silence and stuff and AHHH it was like brutal to have them not be happy together but i get it. plus all things came together as after darrow gets saved from the sovereign they are chilling together. FAST FORWARD -> SHE FINDS OUT ABOUT HIS TRUE PAST and she’s like totally thrown for a loop. i didn’t know what i expected from her or how i thought she was going to react. BUT i’m very glad that she ran off because she definitely was on the kill list for adrius at the end there. ugh mustang i just love her character so much like I want all the best for her and darrow just plz protect my gal for the rest of the series.
ARES IS (WAS) FITCHNER??? bro WHAT. literally he was not even on my radar of who could’ve been ares. that actually made me really happy tho cause it makes sense with how he was so low in the system and then had to rise. PLUS SEVRO knowing about it made sense because of this. but yeah major sad also that he’s dead now like frick. nobody is safe holy shit. like thanks pierce just drop a huge reveal and then kill him off 100 pages later.
ROQUE SUCKS just hate the guy now pliny also sucked but he’s also dead now so that’s good.
VICTRA i think victra was a fun and kinda crazy character. frick antonia she sucks so bad like i’m so upset she shot victra at the end because i rlly liked victra. she was so funny kissing darrow on the mouth and just flirting with him. PLUS I THINK SEVRO LIKED HER??? but yeah she was a fun addition and she was cool so i’m just hoping somehow she makes it out of this alive.
RAGNAR listen i adore ragnar. i think the concept of the stained is so cool and like yes i’m biased and love him cause he’s like pax 2.0 but ALSO i think he has a v cool story. the whole idea ragnar finding out golds aren’t gods and he can be more than just a service dog. darrow trusting him and in turn ragnar being able to believe he can be more!!! the loyalty!! bravery!!! i just am so excited to see where this goes
SEVRO honestly same vibes. best character. love him so much.
BRUH THE FACT THEYRE IN SPACE i feel like i’m all over the place and that’s definitely because i had so much school and midterms while reading this and my brain is scattered because of the ending too BUT ANYWAYS back to just the overview … SPACE. like they’re in space. fighting on spaceships and stuff like that’s so freaking cool!!! the scene with darrow vs the sovereign in that game of lies!!! the fighting at the academy (screw Karnus but also he got his head chopped off by mr slay darrow 💅🏻). just the whole idea of being in space and going to planets and stuff. i can’t remember her name now but that blue who piloted the ship was cool too! THE HOWLERS SAVING DARROW (again!) DARROW SEEING HIS MOM!
GAHHHH just so much honesty this was all over the place. i have way too many thoughts and yet i’m head empty because holy shit everyone is dead and what the hell is going to happen in the next book cuz everyone knows now. overall i really liked this book. book 1 still my fav but this was really good and definitely went sicko mode at the end. I NEED TO READ THE NEXT NOW!...more
