I was definitely blown away by the first book in this duology, and I think more people need to read it! This is a nice follow up to the first book, starting about 6 months after the first book ends (but filling in the gaps throughout the story). It took me a little bit to get into it at the beginning because there was a lot that I forgot from the first book, but my gaps in memory were eventually filled in as I kept reading.

What I liked so much about this duology was the magic system and the characters. The magic that Kochin and Nhika have is so interesting, and we get to see more of that in this installment. They also have great chemistry, and you'll be rooting for them until the very end.
