Can only give it a 3 star, was hoping for a better read!!
Book #2 is a good read. But just a little slower coming together. Adding new characters into the story while you wonder what the original characters are up to???? They don't show up till the end. The writer needs to tie them all together so you know they are to work together. There is to much Bla Bla an Bla Bla going on in the middle. It leaves you wondering. Hoping book #3 is a better read
I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first but the expansion of the world was quite interesting. The introduction of more characters in books of this length felt like a bad choice in my opinion because we didn't really get enough time with any of them for it to be satisfying.
Grear seemingly got the most page time and in my opinion his story was the least interesting or enjoyable. I could have done without his POV and more with each of the other POV's. Baerdon was a better inclusion in my opinion as i prefered seeing the world through his unique to this series lense compared to Grear who's ideals and point of view seemed too similar to the other characters we already had.
I still loves Tuni the most even though she got what felt like the least time and i actually enjoyed what little we did get of Dorrick and how his viewpoint was changed by the people he met and the events he witnessed. Bishta remains as the most mysterious character and while we didn't see her do anything in her own perspective i enjoyed the glimpses we saw of her from others.
Overall this book was just cluttered with too many POV's to be as great as it could have been. 6/10
It kept my interest, as I enjoy stories of bravery and magics . I found a couple of the main characters to be too childlike, with poor me syndrome. Impulsive to a point of endangering others. Teenagers. But a they/them spirit? Really? Maybe this was meant to be a book for teens.
