**I was given this to read via NetGallery**

It was lovely going back into the world Kesia has created.
There is a link to the first book in this series, but this can be read as a stand alone.
The alternating of chapters between the two main characters, Livio and Beatrice, made it easy to follow for me. Even when their paths finally merged, their voices/POV were distinct and keep the flow well. Beatrice was my favourite of the two and I would like to read more of her story.
As the story progressed, I did see a few things coming, but that didn't detract from the telling of it at all.
It is well written and well worth a read.

I really hope there is more from this world. Maybe some stories set around the time the nine gods took control of the magic. But I feel (and hope) there is a lot that can be done!
