The walls of Ninurta keep its citizens safe. Kai always believed the only danger to the city came from within. Now, with a rebel force threatening the fragile government, the walls have become more of a prison than ever. To make matters worse, as Avan explores his new identity as an Infinite, Kai struggles to remind him what it means to be human. And she fears her brother, Reev, is involved with the rebels. With the two people she cares about most on opposite sides of a brewing war, Kai will do whatever it takes to bring peace. But she's lost her power to manipulate the threads of time, and she learns that a civil war might be the beginning of something far worse that will crumble not only Ninurta's walls but also the entire city. In this thrilling sequel to Gates of Thread and Stone, Kai must decide how much of her humanity she's willing to lose to protect the only family she's ever known.

I loved this book! Unpredictable plot, amazing characters, great world building and beautifully written!

It was so unpredictable which is a refreshing change. Just when I thought that I figured out who the traitor was and who Kai could count on, there would be a new twist that threw all my theories out the window.

And the romance had me guessing too. I love how Kai doesn’t fall instantly in love and doesn’t rely on a guy to get her out of trouble. I look forward to seeing how her relationships with Reev, Avan and Mason develop in the next book.

The characters were amazing, especially Kai, Avan, Reev and Mason. I love how Kai is not all knowing and believes that her human side is not a hindrance. She has to deal with the guilt of her decisions and struggles to learn how to use her power.

It felt a little slow in the middle of the book, but it definitely picked up in the second half. I was wowed by the turn of events and the conclusion. I did not see that coming!

I loved Ms Lee’s descriptive writing. Here are a few of my favourite quotes:

And yet, the sight of him standing there – tall, confident, and devastatingly beautiful – kindled a warmth in my stomach and an ache in my chest. When I was with him, pain and longing were my constant companions.

I remembered the way his hand would engulf mine when I was little. For the longest time I looked up at him and thought how unattainable he was – my impervious big brother, more an idol than a person.

But now, having known a few of his secrets and having seen him at the mercy of Ninu, he felt for real. Closer somehow. More reachable.

My only complaint is that I have to wait for Book 3!
