The Tournament of Heirs left us dangling off a brutal cliffhanger, and book two? Yeah, it wastes zero time throwing us straight back into the chaos of Mexica. War is looming. Alliances are crumbling. And every heir? They’ve got something to lose.

What’s New in Book Two?

The sequel cracks the world wide open—and it’s glorious. The mythology finally takes center stage, weaving layers of history, gods, and haunting echoes into every choice the heirs make. It’s not just about survival anymore; it’s about legacy, destiny, and something way bigger than any single character.

And can we talk about the side characters? Tournament books don’t always give us the luxury of getting attached (because people tend to, um… drop like flies), but here, the survivors actually get room to breathe. To grow. To stab me in the heart with emotions I wasn’t ready for.

My Personal Obsession: Necalli

Oh, Necalli. My poor boy is down bad in this one, and I devoured every messy, beautiful moment of his arc. It’s raw, complicated, and honestly one of the most addicting threads of the entire book. That ending?? Yeah, I’m still spiraling.

The Infamous Cliffhanger

Do I hate waiting? Yes. Did I slam my book shut and scream into the void like a dramatic telenovela character? Also yes. But that’s the magic of a great sequel—the last page leaves you buzzing, theorizing, desperate for the next installment.

Any Flaws?

A few pacing dips in the middle had me checking the clock, but it wasn’t enough to derail the ride. Overall, this sequel raised the stakes in all the right ways.

Final Verdict

If you loved book one, The Reckoning of Heirs is here to wreck you—in the best possible way. Myth, mayhem, and a finale that will leave you staring at the wall, whispering “why???” until the next book drops.
