I really enjoyed this second book in the series. It had been a while since I read book one so I did have to go back a bit to review what happened in book one but once I did that, I jumped right back in.

I thought Castellan did a great job of pulling me back into the story of these characters. We get to see how things are shifting for Henriette and what that means for her relationships with those who surround her. Because of her illness, her relationship with the King is shifting because of a new Source supporting him. She's also finding that her relationship with Phillippe is taking a hit because of that same Source. She's finding that she has to be more secretive and work with others within the court to figure out what's going on and solve her problems.

In the end, I thought Castellan wrapped up the book / series in a good way. There's plenty of magic and intrigue in this book and I look forward to picking up whatever she writes next.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the review copy.
