This was the perfect sequel! The action, the suspense, the hard decisions and tension, it was all so perfect! It felt like the perfect book to read in the current political climate. I couldn’t put it down!

I didn't realize this was a sequel when I initially requested, so there was a bit of a learning curve, but it wasn't too bad. I liked Wren and Lee and thought the two pov worked pretty well, although they weren't always that distinct in terms of voice. However, the plot kept moving and I became invested in what would happen, even without having read the previous book!

The second book in this magical fantasy gives us the answers to the true magic of the island and of the Elementals. This book has a lot more action as Wren faces down the four Elemental tests to find the Elder and take down Celeste. Ultimately the book is about relying on friends and treating all creatures with dignity.l

I will always devour anything and everything Kristin and PC cast write. I’ve been the biggest fan since the very first House of Night book came out and I’ll die a big fan too.

This was an amazing sequel. I loved it so much and I can’t wait to have these gorgeous books on my shelf.

I'm sorry to say that I couldn't get into this series. I gave it my best chance, the premise seemed interesting, and maybe because I just wasn't in the right mood for it that It was a bit of a struggle for me. Thank you for the opportunity to give this one a try.

This continues the first book without interruptions. The stakes are higher now because Wren is being hunted, and she has few allies that will help her run and complete the ritual. I love that Viento is her protector and Lily made me laugh. I think readers will enjoy to binge both volumes as one and ignore that it's two volumes. Vivid imagery, bingeble and great magickal academy and characters. My fav chapters were from when they met the elder forward.

I absolutely loved the first book in this series, but this book honestly left me wanting more. It was a super quick read but I always felt like more could’ve been added to it. The book starts from where we left off in the previous one with almost no time skip, which I appreciate especially since I was so intrigued on what was going to happen. We still have dual POV’s from Wren and Lee which I love and have gotten so used to although Lee made me angry at times in this book. The plot definitely came more around in this book compared to the first book which I appreciated and I felt the magical powers were shown more here too. All of my questions from last book were answered which I feel rarely happens so soon!
Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martins Press for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
