• everything was just lacking
• 600+ pages but i felt as if everything wasn’t enough. i still wanted more. and i felt the same way as i did in the previous book too
• but this one, there’s legit nothing much. i loved the writing and everything but the story was very lacklustre and so much improvement could be made especially with the plot and character development and also convincing us of the love between bran and liadan
• i thought it was going to be adventurous but nah it wasn’t that much. not as much as it wa in the previous book

Daughter of the Forest focused on a curse upon the siblings of Sevenwaters and the story took place in just 2 locations. Son of the Shadows focuses on the intertwined destinies of Sorcha's 3 children and the lengths they must go to for each other to fulfill their futures. We also find ourselves in many different locations and Harrowfield is virtually left behind. I hadn't expected such a shift in formula but it made the book more dynamic.
Son of the Shadows is full of suspense and emotion still but this time it was less romantic, less predictable and it had much more jeporady. Of course, we are still treated to a selfless and true love story but this time the course of love runs much less smoothly.
I ended Son of the Shadows still surprised but definitely no longer disappointed. In fact, I think I preferred this second installment in the end. I hope to find that in book 3 I am transported to yet more new places by the latest generation of Sevenwaters children.
