This was a great follow up to the first book. This one follows a different couple, but still very involved with everything that happened in book one. 

Book two is much less heavy on world building, and while these are kind of standalones, I don’t think this book would be as good without reading the one before it. I do think I liked the relationship in this book more. The two characters came together organically and I really liked that the fmc had more wants and desires for herself. 

Time to wait for book three 

4/5 stars
