Wonderful second book in this standalone series set in the world of the Originals of Grimm Academy. Anna has definitely grown as a person compared to the first book. She has gone through a lot and is still reeling from the events where we left the story the last time.
 Anna has learned to accept the help of others and to extend a helping hand to others in return. After reading A Dusk of Stars, one of my criticisms was that it appeared as if Anna didn't care for her friends. This time around, I'm happy to say that she's learned how to be a friend and how to extend grace to others and herself. 

 The author has done a wonderful job in creating an original fated mates arc that spans through lifetimes. The romance is a slowburn, which is my favourite. 
The cliffhanger made me tear up. I had a really good time reading this, and I'm really looking forward to the final book!
