The first book was sooooo good, but this one was one battle after the other and dragging on and on.
I don't think I will read part 3 :(

I received this book from netgalley for an honest review. This book gives me game of thrones vibes. It was very action packed and kept me interested. I was hoping for there to be more romance with Ana and Ransom though.

I really liked this book! As always, I loved the different POVs and the connections made between each character! I love Linn and her loyalty to her friends! I love that Ana’s bond grows stronger with Ramson as well as Kais! I thought it was pretty cool how she was able to learn how to use her affinity and not be afraid of it! My heart broke at the end, in more ways than one! She’s suffered so much and I’m excited to see how everything comes together in the next one!

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! I mean I LOVED and ADORED the first book, but the sequel just blew the whole story out of the water and made it even better and more amazing!
This book continues where we left off with Ramson and Ana trying to find a way to stop Morganya. They need to find allies, and fast. They end up traveling to Bregon(where Ramson is from) to try to gain allies, as well as where Ramson is hoping to finally stop his old master Alaric Kerlan once and for all. They have no idea what they’re in for, and that everything and everyone is tied together.
I loved the addition of some POVs. It added so much more depth to the story, but also the characters, like Linn. And I love, LOVE, that Kais joined the crew because, I mean, give me all the broody men please

"It seemed too good to be true, and now she realized that it had been. Their paths had always led to different destinations."
I absolutely loved this sequel. It felt so good to reunite with the princess and conman again.
Red Tigress takes place weeks after the events in Blood Heir. Morganya has claimed the throne. Under her regime she hunts down non-affinites accused of Affinite trafficking, when really this is a guise for something much darker. Ana and Ramson make way to Goldwater Port where Ana hopes to gain support from Yuri and the Redcloaks... but is met with resistance and disappointment. Linn is a pretty prominent character in this installment, and things get interesting when she must work with Kais, who is very much of a mystery at first. Is he a friend or foe? Zhao really knows how to make you wary of this character.
I thought this was much more magically and politically charged than Blood Heir. From the political machinations in Bregon, a powerful artifact that can create affinites, Ana learning more about her magic and growing into herself, to exploring Ramson's estranged dynamic between his sister Sorsha and father, chilling.. So much unfolded in Bregon. There was plenty of twists, betrayals and bloody action. It was tightly paced and never a dull moment for me. I also adored all the banter between Ana and Ramson, especially when they were open and vulnerable with each other. *happy sigh*
Overall, I enjoyed this sequel a lot. It had action, high stakes adventure, magic, intrigue, friendship and angst. I love the world Zhao created and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how she'll wrap this up. Hopefully a HEA, more Ana and Ramson moments and kill that witch.
