“waiting for this book forever”
I have been waiting for this book forever ever since I finished the first book last year. I immediately devoured this book the second I was approved for an eARC. And I have to say that I was not disappointed at all.
Let’s start from the beginning. Where we left off in the first book, Ren is now the ruler of Japan’s underworld. And she starts looking for her brother since he was taken away. In this book, ten years have passed in the timeframe. And she is still looking for her brother. Ren will have bigger problems than finding her brother when her former archenemies start hunting her down. It will start a lot of problems for her.
I will personally say that Ren may have overcome some issues, but she still has insecurities that she will need to face. She never had the time to process it. She has been fighting for her place to belong somewhere in the underworld. And it does not help that people keep reminding her lack of belonging.
I just wished that Ren was a bit savage to her former archenemies, but I understand why she did it. She will always want to be good in her brother's eyes no matter what.
