    Thanks for the recap! Book 2 is being read next month and I needed a refresher. The way Gwynne tightens the thread that connects the characters and how they all finally intersect at the end sent shivers up my arm. It was all just so brilliant! Gwynne is quite the yarnspinner😃

    I havent read fhe second one yet i just finished the first.. im a little confused. Just before rifa was released a woman came out. It never explains who this woman is. It just leaves it. Do we find out later i guess?

      Are you talking about the woman who came out of her Gaol? If so, yes - she’s covered in the first chapters of the 2nd book.
