As a huge fan of This Dark Descent, I was so eager to read the sequel - and it didn't disappoint. I was riveted by the twisty intrigue that Josephson put my favorite characters through, and I loved the character development that we get to see after the excitement of the Illinir. Each of the characters is thrown into a new role and given new hurdles to overcome, all while figuring out how to do small things like reform a corrupt society and save all of humanity. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and couldn't put the book down. I honestly wish the series would go on forever because I never want to let these characters go.

Also, shoutout to Widget, one of my top 5 literary cats.

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. The cover is gorgeous and perfect for the book. I love this book and it's for sure gonna get a couple re-reads
