I am still so surprised that people like this book so much. Basically nothing happens for 3/4 of the book. Traveling. And a bunch of school. Hints of plot, maybe.
Raise continues to annoy -- I mean, we're all told she's this fierce, strong character, and I guess she has a few qualities . . . but mostly, she seems like a self-entitled girl who is determined to get what she wants. Han is at least a decent character, and I liked Cat. But the rest of the cast fell into rather forgettable parts (Dancer, Micah, Abelard, Gryphon, etc.).
Again, pacing was such a problem in this story. The plot itself was good enough, although some of the character actions still left me annoyed (we're told they're smart, but then they go do something extraordinarly stupid). Setting is a strong point . . . but almost too strong. Feels like half the book is setting. Which, I suppose, is interesting enough. The fantasy world Chima has created is in-depth, but unfortunately, I'm not going to school to learn about this place -- I'm here for a story.
But despite its flaws and its very slow start, the book began to pick up more. And I did want to finish it. If anything, it's an entertaining series.

j’ai jamais eu autant de plaisir à lire la suite d’un premier outstanding first book in a series. encore une fois, c’était mind blowing.
the pacing was a bit too slow to give it 5 stars but I loved the world and characters so much that it didn't bother me much at all. I could read these books forever
So good!! This book suffers from none of the common second book problems I often see. The author's plotting is just completely immaculate, and her main characters are such a joy to follow

I liked The Demon King more than this one to be honest. The beginning of the book when the characters were travelling to Oden's Ford felt slow paced. Also the romance between Han and Raisa seemed a bit forced and too immediate. Although I was a bit disappointed I'm still going to continue to read the next book.
This book was just as good as the first one. I really can't wait to continue the series!
