Also, the main character’s personality also got kind of annoying. I know she is strong and powerful and whatnot, but her attitude did begin to grate on my nerves sometimes.

Premis of book was interesting; A high powered warlord, dependents of gods, magic and rituals, battles for bettering the world for the people with less, but there seemed to be some sort of disconnect. I don’t feel complete after finishing the book.
Also, the passing of time didn’t even come up until the last 20
pages or so when descriptors finally mentioned how
It’s been months since an event (battle) only a few chapters before occurred. Through the book I felt like I was being rushed from scene to scene without knowing there was a legitimate pause of more than a day between occurrences.

I also believe the dialogue and plot felt less polished and a little hokey compared to the first book. And the pacing sometimes felt odd - as though she didn’t want to explain some things. Which is fine. It was still a fun read and hard to put down.
