Just WOW

Holy hell (rutt), that was a good one. I stumbled into this series by accident not even a year ago and I’m very glad that I did. It’s rare that a book sequel holds its own and maybe even has a shot at eclipsing the first.

Really enjoyed the switch of perspective from Ettienne to Gal. At first I was a little wary but I warmed up to it fast. Gal is a jerk but he definitely grew on me, even more than in the first book. The book was a good blend of emotions. I’m VERY glad the book didn’t end purely on an anxiety inducing note. Definitely a solid cliff hanger for a hot second buttttt it almost could be left just as it is, startling yet logical. Super excited for the next book. I really value Skrutskie’s balanced approach to storytelling. She never goes overboard on any one idea, mood, writing trope, etc. She lets the story flow naturally, but intentionally.

The beginning of the last hour (before the semi-expected but still surprise twist) was really sweet and had me choked up. The flame knight and emperors moment hit me right in the feels. Followed by Gal’s choice, that really rocked my world. The deep underlying sense of profound yet blossoming love between the 3 main characters is powerful.

Loved the book, have no complaints, really looking forward to the next.

I never review things but this series has captivated me from the start.

Keep rocking on Skrutskie, you got a way with words. Sky’s the limit with book 3, I really hope you follow your gut and stay true to the characters and narrative cus it’s rock solid.

Great easy but worthwhile read for sci-if lovers

I won’t lie I loved this book. Finished it within a week. I was a little bit hesitant based off the reviews (not the star numbers just the written reviews) bc I am insanely picky when it comes to all things but especially audiobooks but I was immersed the whole ride. It’s a good story that is well paced and strong on lore. I really like how the author dives in to the lore without assuming that the readers needs hand holding bc realistically a good fiction story on the scale of a galaxy is going to have gaps the reader has to fill in on their own or just let go. Some folks didn’t like the pacing particularly in the middle but the middle was my favorite part. I really enjoyed the lower stakes moments where it focused solely on character development.
Apparently it’s a YA book but it didn’t really seem like it. I think it’s more mature just not overtly super sexual? Idk. My only gripe is the melodrama of the writing that I think the voice actor sometimes over emphasizes. It is definitely more an issue with the writing (a small one) that gets more noticeable when the voice actor has a moment. Gets ~almost~ grating every few hours but then it’s quickly over. There was moments where I was like “baby please get over yourself this is your inner monologue not a speech to the United Nations” but they were rare. For the next book/audiobook they should tone down Etienne’s grandiose inner monologue, it gets to be a bit much. Other then that the experience was a 4.5/5.
