i want to read this and continue this series but it's clearly not the right time for it

Yknow....After reading the 1st and 2nd books, and then reading the description of the other book, their descriptions don't feel right.
It felt like "Do you want to know what happened next, watch the next episode!"
I thought we've already established that Vol Koroth woke up but nahhh, only at the end of THIS book we find out that Relos Var was only one step into releasing him.
And the other book descriptions look like a marketing strategy (a bad one).
I don't think I have the time to waste on THREE more books.

Did not care about the new characters or the direction this was going.

Much easier to follow than the first book, although that may be because I kind of gave up on trying

took me a while to get into this one esp with the change of character focus but this was rly fun and the end has me super intrigued to see where the next book goes! i can’t say i 100% get everything that’s going on bc there is just so much to keep track of but i’m still enjoying my time reading these books

I liked it better than the first one by far. Had to start taking notes on all the things that relate to es h other but that has actually helped me see how the world is connected and why all these things are so caught up in the events. Still struggling with the forced flashbacks although I did like this “narrator’s” banter with the reader. I kept finding myself more interested in what was going on in the “present” over the flashbacks. Ready to dive into book 3 and see who’s narrating this time!

Book 2 of 5! This continues to be epic. But the characters and plot are having a hard time bearing up under the weight of the ungainly backstory, mythology, and worldbuilding.
