The world, explicated in the backmatter, is a racially diverse one Tea and Fox both have brown skin.A sequel that builds in both thrills and enchantment. But from the sweet banter between two lesbian ashas to Fox's hilarious sarcasm (even when his arm is dangling by threads of flesh), readers will find Chupeco's dynamic characters and their interactions with one another refreshing, contributing light and liveliness to a story centered on dark magic and impending war. Chupeco's time-hop storytelling style, established in Book 1, is still imperfect, as the intense progression of both the past and present plots results in two seemingly divergent stories (and versions of Tea). While necromancy, spellcasting, and political intrigue permeate the narrative as in the previous book, romance (falling in love, surprise engagements, and the sharing of heartsglasses) is the clear catalyst here. Meanwhile, the sinister Faceless Aenah tries to persuade Tea-who is struggling to control the Dark's influence over her-to join the even darker side.
