Rereading this book and it is truly a lark! The amount of imagination and world-building that continues in this sequel is incredible. I love seeing the ferocity and vulnerability of the two female protagonists. And, I love getting to spend more time with Lord Hawthorne and see the seeds get planted for his story in the final book of the trilogy. This series I quickly becoming my favorite comfort read I loo forward to going back over and over again.
