Overview:
The walls of Ninurta keep its citizens safe.
Kai always believed the only danger to the city came from within. Now, with a rebel force threatening the fragile government, the walls have become more of a prison than ever.
To make matters worse, as Avan explores his new identity as an Infinite, Kai struggles to remind him what it means to be human. And she fears her brother, Reev, is involved with the rebels. With the two people she cares about most on opposite sides of a brewing war, Kai will do whatever it takes to bring peace. But she’s lost her power to manipulate the threads of time, and she learns that a civil war might be the beginning of something far worse that will crumble not only Ninurta’s walls but also the entire city.
In this thrilling sequel to Gates of Thread and Stone, Kai must decide how much of her humanity she’s willing to lose to protect the only family she’s ever known.
My Review:
4.75 Stars (lol)
I was given an arc from the the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
So epic. So. Freaking. Awesomely. Epic.
Lori M. Lee, you've done it again! This sequel was even better than the first! I don't even know if I can do this book justice with my review. I am seriously just a blubbering mess of "oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!" So try to bear with me.
The characters in this book are stunning. They continue to grow in new ways and cling to their beautifully flawed humanity anyway they can. The world continues to expand and surprise and the adventure gets taken up a notch with exploration of new places. It's just absolutely phenomenal to read Lee's writing. She is a master of words and epic high fantasy!
Oh, and the plot twists! Holy holy holy crap, I never once saw those coming! This story keeps you so intrigued and right when you start to get comfortable, bam! Plot twist. And not just a twist thrown in for the sake of keeping things interesting, but real substantial amazing events. This is one book that will keep you on the edge of your seat until finale.
My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the fact that there is no conclusion to the romance. I feel as if I am going to be sorely disappointed when the romance triangle comes to an end, for I fear I am on the losing side. *cough cough Mason cough cough*
I am so excited for the next book in this series and I can definitely say that Lee has cemented my reader loyalty with this incredible sequel.
