I am continuing to love this series!!! While I didn't adore this with the fiery passion that I did the first one, I still really enjoyed it. A few moments of fatphobia, bleh. But more character development for our strong female protagonists and some big reveals contributed to what's shaping up to be a potential new fave series.

 This bomb of a series continues! 8/10.

Highlights: Cywen, Camlin, Alcyon, and Veradis. And to top them all off, the tale of Maquin.
