Synopsis: 

Ia Cōcha never thought she’d be working for the Olympus Commonwealth. But that was before she found out her trusted brother Einn was trying to tear apart the universe. Now, Ia, the Blood Wolf of the Skies, has agreed to help the Royal Star Force on one condition: when she finds him, she gets to kill Einn herself.

Brinn Tarver has just come to terms with her Tawny identity when the public lashes out against her people, crushing her family. At her breaking point, she starts to question everything she believes in—including Ia.

After the death of his mentor, Knives Adams is doing his best to live up to a role he didn’t ask for as Aphelion’s new headmaster. Still, with each new step deeper into war, he feels torn between his duties and the pull of Ia’s radical—sometimes criminal—ideas.

As they fight to keep darkness from eclipsing the skies, their unpredictable choices launch this breathtaking sequel to explosive new heights.

Review:

Quick Star Rating: 5/5 stars

I have so many feelings for the conclusion to this amazing underrated sci-fi duology. I love how fast paced, but connected we get to these characters. It never felt rushed to me even though so much happened so fast. It made complete sense and she paced it all out wonderfully.

IA grows so much in this second book after hitting rock bottom. I love how we get to see her from so many different angles during this two books. We get to see the others strength and some fight the darkness inside them while helping her and learn how to push through it.

I love that the characters go through realistic trials of feelings. It’s sometimes hard to connect when characters to go through awful things and don’t ever falter. We get to see this journey so well in Brinn. Her character arc was simply perfection.

Lastly Knives, my heart still breaks for him in this book. So much our beloved characters go through. It does end of the perfect ending, but man how I wish for a future epilogue because I’m needy!

If you liked Sci-Fi novels like Skyward, Illuminae, and the lunar chronicles definitely pick up these books!
