Holy shit. This was a tough read in the fact that sometimes I had to put the book down and process what had happened. The violence, brutality, and heartbreak in this book is not for the faint of heart.

This is a far-sight better than Iron Gold.

Though I don't enjoy Lysander's point of view, I understand that we need some point of view from the Society. With Volsang Fa, the leader of the Ascomanni, and the Jackal-reborn rising as quite possibly the true villains of the saga, we will probably see Darrow and Lysander team up to defeat one or both of them. I genuinely think that Lysander has been brainwashed into believing that golds are the only people who should not be slaves. I don't love his misunderstanding and unwillingness to look at who Darrow is. On the other side of the narrative, Ephram and Lyria are quickly turning into some of my favorite characters in the whole series. I am excited to see where Lyria's story unfolds, as Ephram just got killed at the end.

Awesome book! I am excited to see where we go from here.

This book was BRUTAL. Not just because just about everything that could go wrong did. Not just because our heroes were backed into all corners. But because the author thought it would be cute to kill every third character 😭 I feel like I’ve lost so much of my heart. But I must see this series through because it couldn’t have all been for nothing.
