This is the second book in the Fire Sermon series, set in a post-apocalyptical world where with each birth a set of twins is born, an Omega born with a crippling birth defect and an Alpha born perfectly formed. The twins are linked together and when one dies, so does the other. I think these books are really well written and this installment really upped the descriptions and history of this decimated place. My main problem with this series is the "twinning" storyline which doesn't seem believable, especially when the Alphas treat Omegas so terribly when their own existence depends upon them. I found myself reading this, wishing the author had instead written a straightforward novel about the apocalypse without twins and telepathy because the descriptions are just that amazing. Overall, this has some fabulous elements but I personally have a hard time getting past the more implausible parts of the storyline. I'm not sure I will continue with this series but I will definitely keep an eye out for this author's future books. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
