I look for reasons not to give books five stars, because it's not something I want to hand out to just anything, even if I like it. Five stars means the book has something special. This book has something special.

I really liked the first book in the series, God's War, but I struggled a bit with some of the characters. I don't know what was different this time, whether they were written with more dimensions that allowed me to empathize with them, or whether the change was in me. Whichever it was, I really connected with this book. It had all of the fascinating worldbuilding and plotting of the first book, and it is as harsh and ferocious and wonderful, with that little something more.

If you like Zoe Saldana movies, this series is for you. An action story where almost all the strong folks are women and the setting is vivid as heck. This second book in the series started a little blah and mopey, then suddenly about halfway though, the story got real and real interesting. I liked how the team had all moved on, but them still got back together, and beliveabley so, and in new roles. One bit of foreshadowing (she might be rotten) went nowhere, though.... Almost like a forgotten thread. Great ending scene. ( )

Nyx is still in it up to her cut throat in the political infighting between the bel dames and the Queen and each other, as various factions would like to use her. This pulls her old team back together and continues to get people killed in nasty ways - while preventing a greater war.

Book description
The only thing worse than war is revolution. Especially when you're already losing the war...

Nyx used to be a bel dame, a government-funded assassin with a talent for cutting off heads for cash. Now she's babysitting diplomats to make ends meet and longing for the days when killing was a lot more honorable.

When Nyx's former bel dame "sisters" lead a coup against the government that threatens to plunge the country into civil war, Nyx is tasked with bringing them in. The hunt takes Nyx and her inglorious team of mercenaries to one of the richest, most peaceful, and most contaminated places on the planet - a country wholly unprepared to host a battle waged by the world's deadliest assassins.

In a rotten nation of sweet-tongued politicians, giant bugs, and renegade shape shifters, Nyx will forge unlikely allies and rekindle old acquaintances. And the bodies she leaves scattered across the continent this time... may include her own.

Because no matter where you go or how far you run in this world, one thing is certain: the bloody bel dames will find you.
