This book took everything great about the first book, and somehow improved it to make an even more captivating story.

The plot for all our POV characters were entirely engaging, the action felt potentially slightly more vivid, and the scale of the story is expanding in an epic fashion. I loved everything about this book, and I cannot wait for the final book. I also can't wait to hopefully read the rest of Gwynne's works next year. He's already an all-time favorite author. Great stuff.

oh snap, the ending with Orka being poisoned by the frost spider... but at least she reunited with Breca.
