Loved the first one but this book is suuuper long and a bit slow. I might  have to re read the first book then try this one again.

This old lady has been reading fantasy books for ages and this is excellent. Great storytelling and world building, well rounded characters.
The author did a good job in delivering a griping story.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I so love this book, it’s a wonderful imaginative world , full of diverse characters and I love the surprises, the twists you always think you know where it’s going to go but you really don’t, I love it when an author does that, such amazing writing and beautiful too. If you enjoyed the first book, you’ll love this

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

I liked it, but I had a much harder time following the plot of this book than the first one. It has so many moving parts, and there are 200 more pages. Do we really need those additional 200 pages? I should come back to it and read it again when I'm less burnt out by life.
