White transitions smoothly from the creative retelling of Pride and Prejudice of the first book to crafting a wholly original story in its sequel. I remember being more impressed with her treatment of Pride and Prejudice than her fantasy writing the first time around, but I thought this follow-up showed she can do more than neat tricks with a beloved classic.
I like that Aliza is still trying to figure out where she fits into to Daired’s world, especially that she hasn’t had one training session and is suddenly a warrior woman but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want her to have her own dragon by the end of the book, and also, I want to know why the cover has her holding a sword, because that got my hopes up. Daired’s self-doubt after the events of the first book make sense too, and I’m glad White explores both characters’ internal struggles without a lot of secret-keeping and overdone angst.
If you’re into folklore at all, you’ll probably figure out the deal with Cordelia—I did—but there were still twists in the book that I didn’t anticipate. I’m not sure I liked all of them, but I did enjoy the book, especially how the last part felt like a gothic mystery.
I’m interested to see how the larger arc plays out in the next installment, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for continued healing for Aliza and Daired. (

CW: miscarriage

The worldbuilding is fine, but the characters are very thin and often frustrating. Aliza and Alastair continually fight over who has control over Aliza's actions and stop just long enough to have sex (in fade-to-black scenes, for those of you who want to know the heat level). Despite Aliza having lots of healing and herbal knowledge, somehow she forgets to use any family planning and then is surprised when she becomes pregnant after having sex all over the place? I was underwhelmed. (

A great follow-up to the original. I enjoyed the completely new story, even if it was a little slower at times. (
