Ya'll don't even know how long i have been WAITING for this sequel!!! I am on the floor. This was absolutely incredible and getting to dive back into the Nightbirds world has been the highlight of my month. I was ready to find out where the girls were headed in this one, and how their powers would grow and it did not disappoint. Mathilde continued to be my favorite fire lady of them all, and I am glad to say that it was just as magical, intense, and glittery as the first one! The nods yet again to religion and classism hit hard, and the addition of the political takeover and rebellion just really pulled it all together. I simply cannot recommend this series enough if you love 20s-style fantasy, a group of bad ass women, and the overall theme of gaining strength and believing in yourself.

I loved the story, the world building and meeting the different characters. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn't stop reading it.
