The highly-anticipated sequel to the epic romance hailed as one of the best fantasies of the year! When the gods make the rules, the players must choose: Sacrifice their love to save the world, or choose love and let it burn? Six months after saving their island from destruction and almost losing Dante, Alessa is ready to live happily ever after with her former bodyguard. But Dante can't rest, haunted by a conviction that the gods aren't finished with them yet. And without his powers, the next kiss from Alessa could kill him. Desperate for answers, Dante enlists Alessa and their friends to find the exiled ghiotte in hopes of restoring his powers and combining forces with them to create the only army powerful enough to save them all. But Alessa is hiding a deadly consequence of their last fight--a growing darkness that's consuming her mind--and their destination holds more dangers than anyone bargained for. In the mysterious city of the banished, Dante will uncover secrets, lies, and ghosts from his past that force him to ask himself: Which side is he on? When the gods reveal their final test, Dante and Alessa will be the world's last defense. But if they are the keys to saving the world, will their love be the price of victory? In This Cursed Light, Dante and Alessa face their most daunting challenge yet when the Gods demand they prove their worth by choosing the ultimate sacrifice to save humanity, once and for all.

Pickpick

This Vicious Grace was so good that its sequel had a good chance to disappoint, and it did. As Alessa and Dante turn their attention to saving the world, the emotional richness and plot urgency of the first book is overwhelmed by a lack of communication trope and surface-level flirtations for almost every side character. The end, however, goes a long way toward redeeming the whole. No spoilery details, but it did make me cry, in a good way. 🥲

I just got this email from B&N telling me that they‘re awaiting stock on this book I just preordered recently. The release date for this book is 10/31/23 but they‘re not going to send it to me until 12/8/23 so basically, they‘re telling me that they don‘t have it in stock. They probably won‘t have it in stock by Oct so I‘ll have to wait until Dec for my book. I‘m surprised that there‘s been a delay but I don‘t usually read new releases right away.
