Things are happening !! Mwahaha 😂 the reason this doesn't get 4.5 stars is because things only picked up in the last 30% and I wish there had been a bit more plot earlier in the 1000+ page book

I cannot rate this book highly enough! In my opinion, a fantastic sequel to the original book, and elevates these characters by shining a light on their growth. Shallan's arc was particularly revealing of her character, and Gabe so much more depth than a frightened girl away from home. Cannot wait to see what Urithiru brings!
