SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t read the first book in the series, The Midnight Lie, Stop! I don’t want to ruin the story for you.
“At the end of The Midnight Lie, Nirrim offered up her heart to the God of Thieves in order to restore her people’s memories of their city’s history. The Half Kith who once lived imprisoned behind the city’s wall now realize that many among them are powerful. Meanwhile, the person Nirrim once loved most, Sid, has returned to her home country of Herran, where she must navigate the politics of being a rogue princess who has finally agreed to do her duty.
In the Herrani court, rumors begin to grow of a new threat rising across the sea, of magic unleashed on the world, and of a cruel, black-haired queen who can push false memories into your mind, so that you believe your dearest friends to be your enemies.
Sid doesn’t know that this queen is Nirrim, who seeks her revenge against a world that has wronged her. Can Sid save Nirrim from herself? Does Nirrim even want to be saved? As blood is shed and war begins, Sid and Nirrim find that it might not matter what they want…for the gods have their own plans.” - taken from Goodreads.com
I loved Marie Rutkoski’s Winner’s trilogy and couldn’t wait to see where the story of their daughter Sid would take her. The second book gave me more information about the lives of Kestrel and Arin and I loved it. With Sid back at home, Nirrim has gone a little power crazy since her deal with the God of Thieves. Once Sid is able to solve her mother’s illness and worked out her perceived differences with her parents, it is up to her to stop the growing threat that Nirrim has become.
This was a satisfactory end to the story but I do hope that the author delves back into this world at a later date.
