Found this one really fun and invested in. Really enjoyed it. Big developments and plot twists that never saw coming really wraps up the stories and plots. Gave everything the first was missing. Excited for the third. Only complaint I felt there was a lot of build and then the ending which was a good ending I just felt it hit fast and kinda killed it but was still really good

god this sent me into a slump i dont really know why i really liked it at first but i was just so busy and then every time i went back to read it i was bored but at least its done now. i feel like the first book was loads better this was so slow paced for a fantasy book with this much action, i'll still read the rest of the series but idk

I was able to get a copy before it's official re-release through Edelweiss. I was absolutely ecstatic.

While there were a few technical issues I found to be perplexing or frustrating, I still enjoyed this journey. One issue I did not have was likeable characters. I'm still excited to read more. I read and needed to know more.
