If I played a game of would you rather books version it would be something like this :
Would you rather sleep with no covers in a cold room for two months or dnf Shadow Scale over and over until you force yourself to finish it cause you had asked for it as a gift cause Seraphina was so good.
I’d gladly freeze for two months.
8yos of suffering with this book. Abdo and Bird guy deserved better!!

DNF at 38%. One long winded road trip that I just stopped caring about at around 15%.

For me at least it's a lot more typical for a series to get progressively worse or boring. There are exceptions of course (Red Rising) but the normal for me is that the longer I read a series the less I enjoy it. This was not the case for Shadow Scale it was astoundingly better than Seraphina was. The character-building in this one was better. You really get a sense of who Seraphina is and I at least really liked It. I also really really liked the "villain" of this story. She was incredibly written. She is perfectly evil but someone you still feel sympathetic for once you learn her backstory. I think that the beauty of these two books partly lies in how Hartman writes such a logical fantasy world. It really makes it stand out to me. It reminds me of how Brandon Sanderson writes his words. I mean the ending kind of reminded me of Mistborn book three so I guess that makes sense. I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would, just like the first book, I would definitely tell people to check out these two books, well worth it!
