Fox and Tea’s love and loyalty for each other even when they were dealing with their own issues… it was nice to see some good in Tea’s decent to darkness.Īnd the romance in this book took flight and captured my heart with it. Tea and her brother, her fellow asha, Kalen ❤. I think my favorite part of this book- besides Tea, is the relationships. She selfish, passionate, headstrong and fully acknowledges it - not changing in anyway. Yes, she does some brutal things, but she has a cause, a purpose. Her character development was so interesting as I still don’t know if she has crossed a line yet.
And maybe there’s also the fact that the past/present narrative is starting to line up and we’re getting closer to villainous Tea… but I’m nervous.Īnd despite the focus on world building, we really get to see Tea straddle the line between hero and villain and how this affects the people around her. The stakes felt higher in this one and again, maybe this can be accosted to all of the travel we go through, we’re not stuck in this safe bubble and lives are on the line. I usually have an issue focusing on the world, but in here I got the layout of where everything was and I got a clear view of what everything looked like. It finally expands on the world building, we go to different countries to find The Heart Forger and everything was so vivid.
must find the Heart Forger… before it’s too late.įor this ARC being over 500 pages, I flew through this.
When the Heart Forger disappears during his trip to Daanoris to examine a princess who has fallen under the sleeping sickness, Tea and Co. There’s a sleeping sickness in The Eight Kingdoms that has showed up with no origin, Tea navigates being a dark asha, and she struggles to separate what’s true as she interrogates the imprisoned Faceless, Aenah. No, I’m not happy with that cliffhanger - why did you do this to me? The diversity, LGBTQIAP+ side characters who actually further the plot and aren’t just there for looks… No, this didn’t suffer from second book syndrome.
