Glint, doesn’t add or improve much on the first book. While the plot does progress, I’m still not quite understanding the massive popularity surrounding this series. The world-building remains interesting, and the magic system continues to be unique, but the pacing and overall depth of the story feel lacking.
That being said, Kennedy’s writing style is undeniably engaging. Even though these books are over 500 pages, they feel like fast reads. The way she writes makes it easy to absorb, and the flow of the story keeps you turning the pages. It’s easy to get caught up in the world, but at the same time, I’m left wondering when the true payoff will happen.
If you’re looking for a quick, entertaining read with some intriguing elements, Glint delivers, but if you’re hoping for significant improvements or deeper character and plot development, this sequel may leave you wanting more. Still, Kennedy’s style keeps you hooked enough to see where it all goes next.

Couldn’t get into. Didn’t like book 1 much at all but wanted to try to stick it out bc I’ve heard good things about Slade. Just can’t stand Auren (maybe it’s just the narrator and her inflection?) but also the ribbons give me the major ick.
