The highly anticipated second--and final--book in the immersive fantasy duology inspired by West African folklore that began with the New York Times bestselling A Song of Wraiths and Ruin, from author Roseanne A. Brown. Perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Renée Ahdieh, and Sabaa Tahir. Karina lost everything after a violent coup left her without her kingdom or her throne. Now the most wanted person in Sonande, her only hope of reclaiming what is rightfully hers lies in a divine power hidden in the long-lost city of her ancestors. Meanwhile, the resurrection of Karina's sister has spiraled the world into chaos, with disaster after disaster threatening the hard-won peace Malik has found as Farid's apprentice. When they discover that Karina herself is the key to restoring balance, Malik must use his magic to lure her back to their side. But how do you regain the trust of someone you once tried to kill? As the fabric holding Sonande together begins to tear, Malik and Karina once again find themselves torn between their duties and their desires. And when the fate of everything hangs on a single, horrifying choice, they each must decide what they value most--a power that could transform the world, or a love that could transform their lives.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. (via Netgalley)
I was pretty excited to get an advanced copy of this on after really enjoying the first. I enjoyed this one as well and am kind of sad the series is over.
There are so many things that I love about this book and series as a whole. All of the characters are so lovable. I cried a few times. I was surprised by how much I would love and mourn Idir. He may have been my favorite part of the story. And I love Ife and Caracal/Tabansi. Some of the love story parts made me skeptical. Karina is still flirty and wants to trust Malik every time they come in contact even after he has broken her trust over and over. Even getting Malik's perspective and knowing he had no choice but to betray her, I was still mad because she didn't have the full insight but was ready to jump in his lap constantly. Regardless, I wanted them to be together so I don't know why I'm complaining. Lol. I loved the author's recap of the first book and her sense of humor in her writing. This is a great series.
