4.5, great way to wrap up the story, felt it was maybe a little longer than it needed to be but otherwise enjoyed it
Chefs kiss! So happy to have finally dug into this series - a fun magic system. A dark world and a sinister plot. It is engaging and interesting from page 1
To say I was so excited to be picked to read this book early in exchange for an honest review is an understatement. Thank you Orbit Books and Rachel Gillig!
I finished this book just last night and I'm still reeling. It was full of excitement, adventure, romance, and that dark twisty fantasy element I love so much. The backstory we get and how it is all unraveled for us readers was beautifully written. I fell more in love with these characters than I thought I would and may even like this book more than the first. I also loved how we could still get some banter between Elspeth and The Nightmare, and The Nightmare and Ravyn. Out of the two, I think I enjoyed the latter more, which surprised me. There was this sense of a bond you got with their banter though and it made it enjoyable to read and at times made me laugh.
The last 150 pages had me on the edge of my seat, heart pumping, and full of adrenaline. It was a fitting end for this duology and while I'm sad it is over, the journey was one I will never forget. These books have stolen my heart.

The calloused hands are back!
Honestly, my favorite thing about this book was the fact that men, for 500 years, were too dumb to realize the true benefit of the Maiden card. Their simple minds only thinking to gift it to the silly little women so they can be beautiful. And, unsurprisingly, the women letting the men think their foolish thoughts knowing all the while the true capabilities of it. Loved that.
Anyway, I loved this book! It was better than the first! Wonderfully gothic and a unique magic system. I fell more in love with Elm and Ione in this book than I did with Ravyn and Elspeth in the first book. But we get all of their POVs in this one!
