Oh my God, I can’t wait for the next book in this duet!
This was actually such an addictive breed, and I could not put the book down, it had some repetitive themes but overall it was very enjoyable and binge worthy

Love the cover and interior art! It looks amazing, and suits the themes of the book. The author's notes/summary of the previous book are a bit long. I'd rather get to what's going on in THIS book. Raina is a great character. The combination of small-town naivety, a good heart, and great bravery and determination to fulfill her dream make me admire her and root for her success. I teared up a few times while reading her chapters. Xavier's early chapters are frustrating to get through because, even though he's older, his thinking is immature and sometimes even nonsensical by comparison. He does a lot of growing. More detail could've been added to them getting to know each other. I feel like they only interacted a few times, and we're told that they're close friends now without actually seeing that develop. This world is very interesting with its mysterious portal over the town, the human-like monsters who come out of it, and the associated religious beliefs that have grown up around it. The assassination plot was less interesting at first, but once secrets start to be revealed, it sucked me in. I felt for all the characters, who find themselves entangled in this tragedy because of the actions of their families. The book had a strong and satifying ending. I'm not sure what's left for the next book besides Raina's digging into more mysteries. I hope all the characters are reconciled by the final ending. There are many errors of spelling, grammar, wrong word choice, missing words, etc. that should've been cleaned up in editing. This is the biggest thing dragging the book down.
