THIS. THIS BOOK IS THE STANDARD FOR ME. This book does NOT suffer from "second book syndrome" in the slightest. It is easily the best in the entire series, without question. It takes the concept of a "morally grey" love interest and adds actual nuance to it. We get a strong female character who has the willpower of a thousand suns. Family politics are complicated, and Liadan does her best for those she loves. The stakes are even higher than the last book, and the action starts pretty much right away! My favorite book of all time. There is a reason why it is the only book I have ever rated 5 stars.

• lacking in plot and characterisation
• 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
