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.

An excellent second installment
This was an amazing sequel to Crier's War and kept me wanting more and more until the end! There was only one thing that stopped me from giving it a full five stars overall and that was the inclusion of they/them characters. It was very clearly 'fan' service for the gender brigade as it wasn't explained whether being a they/them was an identity or if there is a biological arrangement outside male and female which is instantly recognisable by anyone looking at a person. If it was the former, then how did our main characters recognise characters such as hook's partner as they/thems immediately without asking pronouns? If it was the latter, why was it conveniently left out that there are more genders than man and woman in the first book? The way the characters would avoid using gendered language around the they/thems was also very awkward and didn't sound natural. It was pure fanservice and my only problem with this book!

Amazing
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the way it was narrated,the word naivety is pronounced very strangely though I must say yet it was more funny than irritating and gave the character a more posh accent. I definitely recommend it to those who haven't read it.
