Instead I found her to be needy, oblivious, and naive. She was not as smart, capable, or confident. In A Torch Against the Night, however, she was not the same amazing character that she was in the first book.

Elias is now one of the Empire’s most wanted criminals, and his former best friend and the current Blood Shrike, Helene Aquilles, must hunt and kill him. The trip to Kauf is not an easy one, but Elias is determined not to leave Laia’s side. In A Torch Against the Night, Laia and Elias are running away from the Empire to liberate Laia’s brother, Darin, from one of the most secure prisons, Kauf. ![]() I believe A Torch Against the Night was a successful and satisfying sequel. ![]() ![]() It was gritty, entertaining, and suspenseful.
