I have been eagerly looking forward to this sequel and I wasn’t disappointed. This book delves more into the backgrounds of the main characters and helps the reader to understand their motivations a bit more. The first book did have a twist, a lot of reviewers liked it and a few didn't, and I think the follow up to The Glass Blade helps clear up a lot! However don’t think this means the book is without action- there is plenty of that happening throughout the book! It does jump back and forth between the past and present, which I didn't mind but I know can disturb other readers. While I still find Jessop a hard character to sympathise with all the time I can definitely understand her nature a bit more now. I am still curious to see how the dynamics between Jessop, Falco, and Kohl will play out in the third book. While I know who I think is supposed to end up together- we all know it’s not that straightforward and these characters have a complicated relationship. All in all I was happy with this sequel and I am now (trying) patiently to wait for the final installment. I am curious to see where the story will go and how the trilogy is going to come to an end.

After a strong start to the series in the Glass Blade, I was excitedly awaiting the arrival of the second instalment, and can definitively say that I was not disappointed.
This book picks up right where we left off, delving much deeper into the past of Jessop and Falco and giving us a far greater insight into the events that shaped them and led to their takeover of the Blade. The descriptive nature of the authors writing built a vivid picture of the different places within the Daharian galaxy, really bringing the story and the characters to life and making me feel as though I was right there with them.
The book is again full of action and does move between the past and present throughout, though this is a writing style that I really enjoy, keeping me captivated to the story, fervently flipping through the pages to find out more.
All in all, I read this book in a day (benchmark of a great book for me), and I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

After reading the first book in the series I was hooked and the story only gets better in the second as we learn more about the characters' pasts. Wieser is an exquisite writer taking readers through the twists and turns of an action packed tale. This series is an absolute must read!

A book I didn't want to put down. It took me on an adventure with characters that I could relate to and root for. I appreciated the excellent writing and description of places, experiences and moments between the characters that made me feel as though I was right there. I highly recommend this book.

A powerhouse of a series. Superlative worldbuilding, great protagonists, interesting side characters. Falco and Jessop have taken the Blade. With a war on two fronts, Jessop leads one army to their former home where Kohl, the man who she betrayed, has taken over. Falco stays with their son and defends the Blade. With an enemy in hand, and rebellion put down, they now face the most devastating loss. As the army races to barren lands........wham. Cliffhanger. Cannot recommend this series enough. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book from Netgalley.
