First half felt so slow and it took me a while to get through, but after the 50% mark the book became so gripping and page-turning.

The Battle of Darkness completely took me by surprise and I still am processing now. So well-written but also horrifying!

I enjoyed this way more than the first book! I have lots of notes that I need to go through and clean up.
