This was a great follow up to Legendborn that gave a lot more explanation into the world, the politics, and the why of Bree. That being said, I did not fly through this one as fast as the first. This book was harder for me because it felt redundant

especially when discussing why Sel and Bree cannot be together or why she and Nick is dangerous.

. I felt that the aspects of romance added to this novel with the

love triangle

took away from what could be more depths of friendship. Loved the addition of more historial themes and the continued dialogue on racism in the south and within organizations.
