better than the 1st, loved the political aspects and the societal critique, i just feel like it didn’t live up to its full potential, still think the story could’ve been concluded in this book as i didn’t like it enough to read the 3rd book (maybe i will later just to have a conclusion, but i think two books should’ve been enough for this storyline)

Slightly more confusing than the first of the series, but god I love this whole wild and flawed group.

I love the concept, I just think the dialogue is unrealistic at times and there is so much duplication in character thoughts. We hear the same things from them over again on a tangent. I really like the character growth from the first books though and the idea that everything is interlinked and 'can there really be such a thing as fate?'

Overall though, I do think others may find this book more enjoyable than I did.

missjustynak's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

Unfortunately, I tried and tried and I just couldn't get into this story. I felt it was a lot of just going on and on and on about what a character was doing/thinking, but didn't make me feel like there was actual action. I never read the first one, but can't say I liked this story. With a fantasy type adventure like this, I expect to be pulled into this unbelievable world, but instead I just couldn't even keep up with listening because I was bored. Or maybe just from reviews before mine or the hype I had higher expectations. Whatever it was, the writing was detailed, even good, but just not exciting enough.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.
