Storm of Ink and Blood continue right after the ending of the previous book, Rabin’s betrayal toward Zarya drove her and Yasen to her mother's kingdom and find themselves joining a secret rebellion. 
 
Not as action-packed as the previous book, but there’s a lot of things going on as the story delves more into the political state of the kingdom and focuses more on Zarya herself which comes with a new set characters and a new place to explore. 
 
Zarya has to explore more about her forbidden magic and how to control it. We also get to see her thoughts about the prophecy that's meant to be about her while nursing her broken heart from Rabin’s betrayal… 
Despite all that hardship, I'm so glad to know she has Yasen – the perfect supportive best friend anyone can ask for to be with her. 
 
As for the romance, I love watching Rabin grovel his way through Zarya’s heart to earn her trust again. I adore the spark between them – the intense, complicated, burning connection between them is just perfect! 
 
Overall, this is a well-written story with epic world building and wonderful characters. 
The storyline is a bit complicated but it's still enjoyable to read. 
I’m excited to know what happens next after that ending, I’m very curious to know what role Zarya’s father will play in the next book…..
