DNF at 55% -- not a bad book, just not grabbing me right now.

Really good story and world building but some aspects seemed clumsy. More thorough review to follow.

All I can say is I'm counting down the days until the next book comes out. 100 stars out of 5.

Even better than the first book although this one wasn't as action packed as Thornfruit, but still the progression of the plot, the twists, the expansion of the worldbuilding and the character dynamics were great. I love Ev, Alizhan and Thiyo sm

Wow, so good! I almost never like the second book in a trilogy, they usually feel like a boring featureless bridge to cross to get to the climax of the final volume, but this one has tons of action and is even more absorbing than the first book. And that ending!!

There are parts of this I really enjoyed, but it just misses some charm to make me love it.
I like the world building
The characters make several foolish decisions which gets a bit irritating. It's not an overly complex story, so it feels like I'm just waiting for things to to wrong because of those decisions.
I don't like that the two vegetarian characters were made to eat fish. It's so hard to find books with vegetarians, that it was one of my favourite parts of the book.

This book did something I really appreciate but also found disorienting. The main event at the start of the book (first 20% or so) felt like it was a big, tense enough moment to be the ending of a book. It was nice cause it meant the book started with a lot of activity but it had me wondering "what more can possibly happen after this?". It felt like I was reading an ending, but Davin manages to keep up the pace so the story moves quickly.

There weren't many twists or reveals in this 2nd installment, but there are some things I'm confused about. I suspect they'll be cleared up in the 3rd book.

The cliffhanger that this 2nd book ends on is pretty painful so I instantly went and bought the 3rd cause I need to know how things go and how much damage was done in the last few pages.

Jesus H Christ this is one of the most amazing trilogies I've ever dived into. I can say with full certainty these books will stay with me. Please, do yourself a favor and read these books. Just, wow.
