Really struggled to get through this book for some reason. It wasn't until about 70% through when I felt it picked up and then completely devoured it. Lots of build up and mystery leading to the end with mild cliffhanger.

The plot thickens!!!
I did suspect the revelation at the end but it was still so good.

This one felt a bit slower than the first one but we got the worldbuilding that I had wanted from last book, which was nice. Still, the end got me hooked for the next one.

So far i'm enjoying this series very much.  4⭐
