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.
