How dare you John Gwynne? 
If I do not find Orka alive and well in the third book I will riot! That is a promise!

I enjoyed this much more than the first one. Although it still somewhat struggles with the issue of there being many characters with little differentiation, it's not as bad as it was in the first one

I DNFed this book once and wanted to give it another chance. I managed to finish it this time although I still found it hard. 

If not for the last chapter I might have given it 2.5  stars. However, that ending just made me mad.

A stunning sequel for an incredible series.

I LOVE this series so far, it has it all: Incredible fight scenes, a weaving of an intricate plot, and heartfelt relationships. I was really glad to get a few more perspectives this time. Especially from the "villains" of this story. That was truly interesting and entertaining. One of the reasons why I liked those perspectives so much was that you get to see the "hero's" in a light that is not so flattering. Especially with Elvar,  but I do hope that she comes to the realization that it's not someones ancestry or the blood that flows through somebody's veins that makes up their character, but it's the decisions that they make.

This makes me hungry to read more John Gwynne!
