I'm really enjoying this series - I'm especially invested in and intrigued by the characters, whose development is intricate and realistic. The Fractured Dark does have some plotting and pacing issues, however, which weren't as obvious in the predecessor - possibly because more ground is being covered in this installment. That said, I found this to be a highly enjoyable read. The conclusion also felt satisfying whilst still leaving me very eager to find out where the final part of this trilogy goes!
Thanks to Orbit and Netgalley for the ARC.

This was fantastic. I'm genuinely surprised that I never see anyone talking about this series. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the first book was. While I really enjoyed this, I didn't think it was quite as good as the first, and it definitely suffered from some middle book syndrome. I really like the writing style. The world-building and character development were still strong. While I felt like the overarching plot moved forward, it seemed like this book just kind of went in circles, and we kept seeing the same scenarios on repeat with some minor differences. I'm very excited to read the final installment and definitely feel like it will have an epic conclusion.
