5.0

I was consistently shocked through the  entire book. The story never goes where you’re expecting it to. Somehow a cast of treacherous characters making terrible decisions works. Brilliant.

What a sequel! I found the pace a bit difficult this time round, as it’s such a long book. But somehow within the last 100 pages, I wanted more! So a real mixed bag when it came to pacing, but as with the first book, the writing was beautiful.

I’m fully invested in the world of Deavebad, and cannot wait to read the third book of this trilogy!
