Status Updates From Voice of the Lost (Medair, #2)

Not at all as good as the first book. I’ll finish it but I’d say read the first book and leave this one be :))

Ugh. This feels like someone else wrote this, that or Höst was getting bored. In the first book everyone was so wonderfully controlled & restrained, conversations had slight undertones you had to pay attention to, & everyone was an individual character. Now everyone's personalities/speech patterns are the same, declarations of love are being spewed, & the plot has turned into a series of time warps and teleportations

55/172, Chapter 6

Oh s**t.

Ouch.

It lacks a bit of the charm of the previous book, but it is definitely a worthy continuation of the same story.

Yeah, I have no idea what's going on. If I don't get my bearings soon, I'm leaving.

Alright, now I'm lost. It's weird, Touchstone was actually way more complex than this series, but I could at least figure out what was happening in a given scene. I think it was the fact that Cassandra was an engaging protagonist, and that it felt like her story at the core. This doesn't feel like Medair's story at the core - the complex names and world is exactly what I'm supposed to like about this.

I'm actually following this one. I mean, the plot is really simple so far, and I'm not keeping up with the characters, but I could actually tell you what's happened so far. Mostly.

It was probably a mistake to read this, since I was barely able to follow The Silence of Medair, and I don't remember any of it. But I'm actually understanding this so far. I don't know what the difference is, since the names and world are still as complex as ever. We'll see how long this lasts.
