This book absolutely destroyed me in the best possible way! Rosaria Munda has crafted a world that is simply impossible to leave, and DK have packaged this piece of fiction perfectly.

Tense and fast paced; I cried, I screamed at the twist and I'm ready for book 3 immediately.

Thank you to DK Books and Netgalley for this gifted eBook version - I can't wait to purchase the physical trophy for my shelf!

The second in the Aurelian Cycle trilogy does not disappoint, it also has a handy scene at the beginning that reminds you of the important points in the last book, which is always useful. This does not suffer from second book syndrome, the plot does not dip, it is still fast paced and action packed, we meet new characters, and I think it manages to be more twisty than book one, I cannot wait for the conclusion to this series it is magnificent.
