The middle is a bit slow but if you read it fairly quickly its not bad. Don't put it down half way and come back days later-then it feels way too long and drawn out. The last 200 pages are so good

3.0

 “I am priestess of a sandcastle in a land of dust and starlight” 

A bit longer than necessary for a sequel, in my opinion. And it contains a disturbing scene that I was not ready to read about in a book like this. But overall it is a great way to continue the series; it went in a way different direction than I thought it would.
Can’t wait to see where Taylor will take us in the finale!

I really enjoyed this, but man it was slow. I really wanted more development with Akiva and Karou from where we left off in book one and I just don't feel like it was meeting my expectations. Do I still love this series? Yes, absolutely.

Didn’t love this one as much as book one, but it was still good. Looking forward to seeing what happens in books three.
