I… I lack the words to express how I’m feeling because I just finished the books.
The Oleander Sword doesn’t have the dramatic conclusion of the The Jasmine, it’s much more of a steady build towards the final boss battle. Which isn’t here yet by the way.
It holds your attention well, but the addition of new formation does make it a more a complex read because you’re already following an existing narrative.
All that said, I cannot wait for the next book to come out!
