"Thank you to the author for approving me to read this early, I’m rating it 4.25 stars.

This world and its conflicts get more intense by the chapter. I am such a fan of this unique magic system and how intertwined the politics and magic are. Following on from book 1 we are in the thick of it, just about recovering from the awfulness that is Rhei Coralt. In book 2 we are exploring more of the new dynamics as Hope gets to know the other heirs and also where she fits into everything, there are some major revelations which lead to dangerous situations.

The spice is such a great touch if I’m being honest, I’m rooting for the couples in book 2.. even after that brutal ending. I remain so glad we get multi POV so we can navigate the different paths our characters are on in a clear way, plus I like reading what each core character is feeling and experiencing in their own POV.

I’m locked in for book 3, god knows where we will go from book 2 after those last couple chapters but I’m excited."

"What an adventure!!!

Hope and the gang are back to try to get the Fifth Power and what a journey they have!

Thank you for the ARC Martha Monteval! I can’t wait for the next book to see how this ending is worked out!"

"Why? Why?

I literally screamed!

Ayla, Lenna and Jack!

The slow burn on one hand. So good. Love that. And then you got the couple on the other hand. With such good chemistry, a wonderful passion, even true love you hope.
The travel that brings all the friends together. You learn more about the magic, the friends, the courtrades.

Then you have the ordeals, where you meet the cardinals. And you think they‘re nice. Goddesses.

But then the ending. It breaks you!

I need the next book! Like now!

"I was honored to read the 1st book as an ARC read, which got me hooked in this saga! Book 2 did not disappoint. Again an ARC read, I was on an emotional rollercoaster, and couldn’t wait to get to the part where Hope and Ciaran could finally kiss! My heart broke for Lenna & Jake. I now have to wait for the 3rd book to see if this pans out or goes up in flames?!? Martha, you had me gripping my seat, chewing on the side of my lip. I can’t take the suspense! I know things are going to get hectic, just hoping for a HEA! "
