This comes across better and more complex and nuanced than book 1. I like how the plot has setbacks for several protagonists because of their own choices and because of cruel circumstances (it reminds me of ASOIAF). The narrator does a good job with using northern English accents for kissing and other Taliscian characters. I winced with the Welsh accent for the hermit at the river Aan source. I will read book three but not sure I’ll re read this soon
