2.25
This ended just as abruptly as book one did and once again, I feel like a whole lot of nothing happened.
The entire 276 pages is the trio getting from the ship the ended the last book on to the Cursewoods.
There is no romance
There is barely a plot
I skimmed the entire second half of the book because n o t h i n g was happening.
Also none of the characters have a personality anymore.
Amira is suddenly soft and shy and young
Dain ignores everyone besides her & calls her "love" but everyone feels cardboard and flat.
I will not be continuing.
Here's am actual passage from the book - a conversation between a murderer and a demon.
“People like us, we were born to rule. We have a duty to rule.”
“To save people from themselves?” Daindreth sighed.
“If need be.”
