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.

“If the universe was static, I could stand anywhere in this world and I swear my line of sight would end on you. I swear i'd find you in the dark.”
READ THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW OMG IT WILL NOT DISAPOINT!
The main characters felt so refreshing it was unreal! Crier and Alya were some of the best characters ever and I love them so much.
This book was recommend to me because of the lesbian enemies-to-lovers romance, but this book was so much more than that. I loved the world and story so much its crazy.
Closer to 3 but rounded up due to my love for the first one and I felt this was significant enough for a satisfying ending. This duology has all the great sapphic feels.
