I really enjoyed the second in the Nightborn duology of this series. While the first one was a five-star read for me, this one was slightly below that. I loved getting the dual POV from Raihn this time around but at times I felt his were a little less complete than Oraya's side.  The best parts of this book all related to the exploration of her relationship with her father which did feel a little strange at times held up against her life eith Raihn. Overall, this book had way more going on plot-wise which was so fun and we really got satisfying character and plot arcs. I can't wait to move on to Shadowborn next!
