I like how the dialogue between the characters is written, in a very serious event a joke cracks here or there easing the tension

I’m astonished to the plot’s build of synchronicity in events, like when he got leg injury at Ronan’s palace he felt the heaviness in Res during the Chariot race. Nonetheless, i felt the intricacies during the race was too much.

The Inauguration ceremony for Vis to become Septimii is a bit heavy to read, too many details that i feel could’ve been easily shortened. Thats what i thought, until i saw Vis’s oratory conspicuously mentioning a man who lost his farm; then i clicked that could be related to the other world.

I like how the 1st part of Book ll answers many questions i had in Book l regarding the inucitii and the ruins which did not have much emphasis on Book l. I noticed the plot is built toward plot twists will startles me about Emissa, the fact he cannot see his sister’s image in his mind means she’s still alive, even when Rulecia briefly asked him about her in Book l suggests that.

I was upset when i finished book l as the ending was vague, to my blithe relief, book ll didn’t disappoint me. The fact the plot is put in multiple timelines in different world is something i would love to explore.
