One of those rare times that a sequel was better than the first! The completion of this duology read simultaneously as a sequel AND prequel by giving us more about the Shepherd King’s past and how the cards came to be. The way the lore was expounded on and the past was shown- not just through a lot of random info dumping- was so well done. It was interesting seeing the reversed dynamic of Elspeth’s and The Nightmare’s POVs and I loved seeing the relationship between them develop even more. We got to see Ravyn and Elm’s POVs in this one and got a new romance, as well. Elm and Ione’s storyline is so compelling that you not only don’t mind, but LOVE, that these “side characters” from book one are equally the focus and kinda steal the show in book two. I loved both of their characters and their romance even more than our MMC and FMC! Where the first book is slow and more the set up for everything to come, this one is action packed and jumps right into it from the get go. The first book landed right in the middle for me at 3 stars but this book alone is a 5 star read and really cemented the entire story. I really think it would have been better combined into one, bigger book… Averaging it to a 4 star rating for the story overall.PS- This is probably one of my all time favorite and most unique magic systems I’ve ever read about. The use and lore of the cards is
