Delilah Bard has acquired a ship (but not yet her own), and is exploring her burgeoning magical powers with its Captain in the world of Red London, while Kell and Rhys try to live despite their now life and death connection. Also on the horizon is a huge magical battle, where all of our players will be drawn, and a dark force is rising again in White London...

This book was fun, but not as great for me as the first book. I fear I forgot a lot of details since I've read the first book so long ago, so maybe my fault. Also, I felt that there was so much build up to this magical fest, and I've read a very similar tale in [a:Samantha Shannon|5830526|Samantha Shannon|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1450373891p2/5830526.jpg]'s [b:The Mime Order|17901125|The Mime Order (The Bone Season, #2)|Samantha Shannon|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1421696237s/17901125.jpg|25076284]. The actual cliffhanger/mystery was very minimal, which was slightly irksome.

That said, I love this world, and I can't wait to read the next book.
