Thank you to netgalley and HarperCollins for giving me a copy of the eARC in exchange for an honest review! 

Wow. 

After reading The Gilded Crown I knew I had to start the sequel sooner than later, so I was very ecstatic to be able to read this before the release. 
Being able to dig into a book with beautiful writing and characters is honestly such a privilege, I felt engaged with the plot the whole time and I felt the pain the FMC, Hellevir, experienced throughout this whole book. 
The only time I felt a bit iffy was during chapters 9 and 10 where things felt a little rushed, but the whole story takes a drastic and darker turn that works far too well and made me even more obsessed with this story.  
Overall, amazing book everyone must read this duology as it is BEAUTIFUL! And it also made me sob, which is extremely rare.
