So I loved this more than book one. Building upon the world as we officially meet the Aylish as well as a new group of Sealanders. It gives us all three variations of how differences are treated amongst people in a stark manner. Its gripping and fully emphasises how a war can be fought on every front and there are rights and wrongs on every side for every decision. I enjoyed all of the POVs (Lark, Nightingale, Swan, Rye, Piper and Petra) we got and the look at Torchfire itself showing powerful one person can be. I'm looking forward to being able to continue the this journey into its final chapter when that is announced.

I thought I loved book 1 (I did) and book 2 was just a revelation. I could not put it down. I stayed up to finish it till 2am because it was THAT good. These characters will get under your skin and stay there for the foreseeable future. Their grey morality is both alluring and immensely frustrating and I found myself cursing their courageous minds and passionate hearts - and damnable decisions! Do not miss this incredible sequel where a revolution builds and Lark and Nightingale are tested time and again...The future of humanity and society hangs in the balance (and book 3 is to come!). - Thank you to Faber for providing this ARC via Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

Torchfire builds upon the explosive momentum of Songlight introducing us to a newcomers from Sealand, in the post war torn world. As Brightling factions become more volatile the stakes are higher than ever for Lark, Nightingale and Piper. A fantastic sequel which delves into more complex moral themes, Buffini embraces the grey area in which humanity operates and, trusts us to feel the emotional journey of each of the characters through their hope and heartbreak. Readers can expect to be integrated into the very lives of the characters feeling and experiencing there individual challenges as Brightland sits on the knife-edge between war and peace. If Songlight lit the spark, Torchfire is blazing and the finale can't come soon enough.

Thank you NetGalley and Faber and Faber Ltd for the arc Torchfire is the follow on from songlight I loved songlight I already preordered Torchfire on Waterstones was so excited when I got approved for the arc and it lived up expectations I loved it and wanted more hopefully they is a 3rd book in the series as it ends on a cliffhanger What I loved they was more character development and plot development it was gripping on the get go and engaging and pacing was great and action packed and the different characters POVs and energy and the acceptance of a character coming out basically I loved everything What can I say it getting better for each book everyone needs to read this series so far 5 stars
