The second book in a feminist space opera duology that follows the team of seven rebels who will free the galaxy from the ruthless Tholosian Empire--or die trying.
After an ambush leaves the Novantae resistance in tatters, the survivors scatter across the galaxy. Wanted by two great empires, the bounty on any rebel's head is enough to make a captor filthy rich. And the seven devils? Biggest score of them all. To avoid attacks, the crew of Zelus scavenge for supplies on long-abandoned Tholosian outposts.
Not long after the remnants of the rebellion settle briefly on Fortuna, Ariadne gets a message with unimaginable consequences: the Oracle has gone rogue. In a planned coup against the Empire's new ruler, the AI has developed a way of mass programming citizens into mindless drones. The Oracle's demand is simple: the AI wants One's daughter back at any cost.
Time for an Impossible to Infiltrate mission: high chance of death, low chance of success. The devils will have to use their unique skills, no matter the sacrifice, and pair up with old enemies. Their plan? Get to the heart of the Empire. Destroy the Oracle. Burn it all to the ground.
My Review:
This was such a fantastic read! After the ending of the first book, I had to know what was going to happen next, and it didn't disappoint! Loved watching them deal with the fallout of the first book-and with the ongoing issues in this one!
I wasn't sure how this book would play out. After the events of the last book, of what they did, and how that was used against them-and what good they did do was claimed by the bad guy, yeah, they were under pursuit by all sides. I had to know what was going to happen next!
We did continue to dance around the timeline in this book, which was really interesting to read. Though I was pretty apprehensive, that was a pretty big risk that they were taking. Just watching it all play out and come together was really great!
Wow, but that ending was fantastic! That cost hurt, and the rebuilding process, oh man, that's going to be a struggle and a half! I'm glad that they got to the point where they can, though the journey there was really tough!
This was such a fantastic read, and a great end to this duology!
