This is the second book in a prequel series. It picks up directly after the first one ends, so if you haven’t read the first, there will be missing context.
Whereas the first book was about Sera’s backstory, this book is about Sera learning the truth of the gods, the origins of her power, and still wanting to fulfill her mission.
The messaging from this book that I got was about fate. How maybe fate isn’t set in stone because we have free will. Or maybe fate is inevitable, occurring as a result of actively trying to change it. Maybe there are parts of life that are bigger than fate, overruling it in a way. Maybe you can change your fate.
OVERALL
Overall, I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. I like the first one more, but I still give it a 5 because I’m invested in these characters and what will happen to them. I also appreciate that seemingly throwaway information or observations have come back around to mean or be more.
