Ohh I had a really good time with this. I was so hesitant to pick this up because the summary didn't sound too appealing.
First of all I think this book is a little bit of a deviation from the last. The first book had a lot of plot movement but this felt more like character journey and world expansion. I personally love that but I think quite a few other fantasy readers don't like that.
I personally love the amount of new bonds formed in this one. Merick gained a friend after losing one, Safi gained allies, and Iseult relationship with another individual transformed into something else.
Also getting Vivia's new perspective was so great. I had no love for her in book 1 but I'm glad that Dennard is giving us multi-layered individuals.
