Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was another great installment of Mossa and Pleiti's adventures. A more easily followable mystery this time, as we get more familiar with the setting, so the readers does have enough information to theorise. The mystery also worked as a way to delve deeper into the world of Valdegard and showed different perspectives to the university.

The overall world is also expanded upon and we see the repercussions of the events of the first book, though the attitudes really reflect real life attitudes of academia. The world building is still very intriguing and continues to effect the mystery of the book due to its unique nature.

The favourite aspect of the sequel however, was the romance. This installment felt more romantic to me, with a lot of Victorian yearning(and what a great yearner Pleiti makes!). This installment focused more on Pleiti and being in her head is an entertaining experience, especially with regards to her feelings. I really enjoyed how her feelings and the romance was handled.

Overall, another atmospheric and romantic romp. A perfect read for a cold day.
