ok, then I'll start a non-fic today instead and shift to this book after you get it


Great!

The first chapter is a new territory...

sad

Chapter 1: (view spoiler)
The non Cahan chapters: (view spoiler)
Chapter 6: (view spoiler)
So on the whole, I'm a bit confused but trusting in the author to see us through! I'm happy to be back in this world and ready for the story to really take off!


Btw, is this the last book in the series (atm)?


Yes, this "enemies linked with one chain" creates a lot of possibilities and tension.
even if Udinny were just for fun, it still would have been great :)


Yes, I also liked the first book more but I think this one was a solid continuation before the final

Although I sometimes get impatient with a long synopsis I was actually glad for one on this occasion.
I was a bit disappointed with the early Udinny chapters, feeling that they were just padding. However, for the last third or so of the book I became more interested as the different strands of the story were bought together and I'm now looking forward to seeing her link up with the other characters in the third book.
I feel that this book is as enjoyable as the first, if not more so.
My only issue is with the ending. I agree with Rebecca that it lacked something. I think it's because I like to have a firm conclusion of at least certain strands of a continuing story at the end of each book in a series. This one feels to me as though the author reached a certain point and decided that the word count had reached a handy number at which to end.
(Maybe I'm being a bit over-critical about this).
I'm certainly planning to continue with book three when it becomes available.
Now on to 'Haunt Sweet Home'.

Yes, I think this is a problem of a lot of middle volumes today, partially a result of love of trilogies

I think the religion is more of a magic system since the gods a mostly absent; it's just the power we see.
I really enjoyed that the world building expanded in this one. We learn more about the Forestals and meet the Osere.
I think a big question for me is how the gods the Osere keep bound, Ranya, and Zorir all relate. There are definitely similarities in how they function but not enough to understand how one might relate to another.



Late July is fine with me

What do you think, Acorn? Not for me? Or such good epic fantasy that I might even like it.


well, if I have time . . . but probably I won't have.
