Would’ve appreciated if the entire book was like the last 200ish pages but alas. A solid second installation to The Empyrean series, although there were too many characters to keep track of and somehow not much happening despite everything happening. I do love Rebecca Yarros’ characterization, even with the minor characters, I just think there doesn’t need to be so many with actual names, you know? Makes it hard to keep track of the ones that are more necessary. If that makes sense? Idk this took me awhile to finish because some of the plot devices were a little too convoluted and didn’t seem to serve the plot in general. Inevitably, yes, more will be revealed in the third book. Also—if all of the steamy scenes are going to basically be the same, can we maybe chill on that aspect of the books because unfortunately I was growing bored with them, as much as I love Xaden. 

Like I said with the first one, the world building in this series could be better. But I did like the introduction of more of life outside of Basgiath and Navarre. In any case, I enjoyed it and was very invested in the final quarter of the book. Quite the interesting cliffhanger!!
