A good follow up for Dance of Thieves. As with the first, the writing was engaging and easy to read, though I don’t know if the story will really stick for me. 

Kazi and Jace were lovely, the most vibrant characters in the book (obviously.) I did genuinely enjoy their romance arc, though it did feel rushed. I do wish there was more of them at the ending, though. The plot was a bit less predictable than the first book, which I was also grateful for. 

4 stars feels fair enough, because it was enjoyable enough of a read.

Honestly the only thing holding me back from a full 5 stars is that there were a lot of characters to keep track of sometimes and my brain isn’t always great at that. 

When say there were lots of characters I mean like Game of Thrones vibes* and like also with the politics and the twists and high stakes of it all. I really really enjoyed the political plot which is not something I usually like. I was LIVINGGG for the romance between Kazi and Jase! 

I think this one really outdid the first one and I’m very happy I read it. If you are gonna read this duology I’d definitely recommend reading them either back to back or close together just because I think that would’ve helped me with keeping track of the characters.

I want a full book of Greyson and Miandre post vault because I love reading their little quotes about the “before” and something else I love about these books is how it’s seems to be set in the future because the make references to “the before” that are things/constructs we have now


*im talking the show because I haven’t read the books so idk

Love this duology and love Kazi and Jase, but let’s be real the first book was def better.

Jase and Kazi being kidnapped for half the book was not giving. Love Synove and Mason at the end tho and super cute ending with some nice closer (other authors TAKE NOTE).

Still recommend for some finality after DoT, though :)

Honestly, I found the whole “blackface” as a main plot point- to be both racially insensitive & completely unnecessary. It completely ruined the book for me, and made me resent reading this book. 

Having finished this Duology I find I have more criticisms than compliments. For this particular genre & themes explored, it gets a solid C- at best. It’s not something I will be recommending.
