Wowwwwwww
I loved this duology. The second book at a lot in it though like a lot, a lot. I feel like it could have been split up and then also the story like for each drawn out more but over all this was such a great read. The ending was great. Will there be a 3rd book? I know it says duology but how do you end it like that in the epilogue and not have a third book coming out right.
Well I loved this, I’ve told anyone who will listen to me how awesome this was. Do yourself the favor and read it. It’s amazing

Loved this series. Wish there was 3 books instead of 2.

unfortunately the bad writing that made me trudge the first book continued into the next one and in fact got even worse. There’s so much random explanation for no reason. All of ikennas thoughts are written out in such excruciating detail that it made me thought there was a specific word count that had to be checked in order for this book to go to publish, yet the actual important story plot points are just over and done with in less than a paragraph.
she kills the blood emperor in less than a page, she kills all the red order in basically a paragraph, she meets with amaka ONE TIME and instantly gets the power to overthrow the whole acacian government, she goes from one paragraph in her fight with krashna thinking that she’s gonna die here and the next they’ve all automatically and miraculously teamed in time to kill a god???? I seriously thought I was losing my mind here
This also made ikenna insufferable to read about and I honestly really started to dislike her character at the end. Also there wasn’t that many interesting scenes with the cohort to make me actually care about them and their fates, and the relationship with reed and ikenna felt like an afterthought and just a ploy to add spice when it wasn’t needed.
Overall I think there were too many ideas for the author to put into one “final” book. This probably could’ve worked more as a trilogy where she could expand on her ideas and we could really delve into the chracters, without reading paragraphs of what felt like unnecessary jargon.

This was a wonderful book, but the pacing of it felt off and there was a lot left unresolved. Normally unresolved isn't that big of an issue for me, but with the pacing of the novel and elements that were added in, it was a bigger problem for me in this novel. It's still lovely and I really enjoyed both books in the duology and heavily recommend them both!
