Hi friends! So today I'm going to be doing a review on "Before We Collide" by Kate Dylan. This review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the Goodreads synopsis in this and sometimes it can contain spoilers, especially with this being the second book in the series, so please keep that in mind!)
"The thrilling sequel to Until We Shatter, the romantic heist fantasy, perfect for fans of Six of Crows, Master of One and Bone Crier's Dawn.
Raya Wryvern was supposed to be a prodigy. As the daughter of two powerful Shades - world - renowned for seeing the future - she was expected to follow in her parents' footsteps and graduate the Academy at the top of her class. Instead, she's failing. And the cost of failure is having her magic bound.
Desperate, Raya asks the future a forbidden question. But instead of an answer, it shows her the end of all magic and the death of her kind. And at the heart of the vision, Ezzo, the boy it claims she's destined to love.
Except Ezzo's not just a boy, he's an illegal half Shade who's spent the last year drinking away his past, and he's not interested in a future - his or hers.
With time running out on a prophecy only she can see, Raya must convince Ezzo to help her decipher the vision - before it's too late to steer (their) fate onto a different path."
I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley, however all opinions are my own.
So the reason I wanted to read this was because I read the first book (also as an ARC). Friends, I didn't know how Kate was going to continue this series because to me, even if there was enough space for their to be more story it seemed like the story had finished. I am so glad however that we got more, and I am super hoping that we do get a third too. As I said, because I didn't know what I was expecting to come from this second book it made it every bit as exciting and fun to read. It was so good to catch up with some old characters from the first book, but also to meet some new badass characters too. The found family that I fell in love with in the first book really shone through in this one, and truly taught us that no matter what happens the people you love will always be there for you (even if you don't want them to be). There was so many truly heartbreaking moments throughout this book so I do recommend a pack of tissues if you read it. I will definitely be picking up a physical copy of this book and I cannot wait to see what Kate does next with this universe.
I gave this book a 4/5 star rating on Goodreads.
This book is already out!
