The Skylark's Sacrifice by J.M. Frey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Summary from GoodReads
Robin Arianhod is on the run. Trapped behind enemy lines, her only choice is to lose herself in the sprawling capital of Klonn. But hiding in the shadows is a disservice to the rocket pack she escaped with, and to the man she once considered foe. Instead, she’ll enact his plan, harness the incredible power of the pack, and stop the war from the inside.
Wanted posters stalk her every move as rumor fuels the Skylark’s rise, and her attempts at vigilantism attract the attention of more than just the city guards. Robin finds herself embroiled in the machinations of a mysterious underground rebellion—Klonnish citizens as tired of the war as she is.
But are they really her allies, or are they using the Skylark as bait? And can she really trust that her former archnemesis turned his coat? Or will the secret of his true identity lead Robin, and her newfound friends, to their deaths?
Rife with high-flying action, subterfuge, and deception, The Skylark’s Sacrifice is the explosive conclusion to the saga of war-torn Saskwya, and the one pilot who can change it all.

REVIEW
I received an e-ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I had high hopes for the sequel and J.M. Frey didn't disappoint! In the sequel of her new duology Frey explores character development in a war-torn world with enemies in every corner, battles and forbidden romance.
As Robin tries to gain new allies, she will discover that despite the cultural differences, people on the both sides don't wish for the war anymore. I surely didn't expect THAT surprise after the middle of the book. It had me gasping and wondering what would happen...and WHY COULD THAT HAVE HAPPENED?!
The ending of the duology was great, albeit a bittersweet one. Frey proves once more her talent of hopping between genres and delivering amazing characters and unforgettable worlds!
Don't miss the first book of the series!
