Summary

Critically
acclaimed author Nina Varela delivers a stunning sequel to the richly imagined
queer epic fantasy Crier’s War, which SLJ called “perfect for
fans of Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass.”

For
too long, Automae have
lorded over the kingdom of Rabu, oppressing its human citizens. But the human
revolution has risen, and at its heart is Ayla. Once a handmaiden, now a
fugitive, Ayla narrowly escaped the palace of Lady Crier, the girl she would’ve
killed if she hadn’t fallen in love first.

Now
Ayla has pledged her allegiance to Queen Junn, who can help accomplish the
human rebellion’s ultimate goal:
destroy the Iron Heart. Without its power, the Automae will be weakened to the
point of extinction. Ayla wants to succeed,
but can’t shake the strong feelings she’s developed for Crier. And
unbeknownst to her, Crier has also fled the palace, taking up among traveling
rebels, determined to find and protect Ayla.

Even
as their paths collide, nothing can prepare them for the dark secret underlying
the Iron Heart.

Obsessed! I loved this book so much! The world was so fascinating and the lore and world building was awesome. I really grew to care about the characters and was genuinely so happy and proud of Crier and Ayla. Really good book with great tension and plot.

Obsessed, so sad it’s over
