words_and_dreams's review against another edition
emotional
slow-paced
4.0
The second installment in the 'Blood Grace' series.
I enjoyed this and love the world and characters that the author has created. It is a fully realised rich world full of history and depth. The continuation of the love story was also beautiful and you really do want them to succeed. The depiction of friendship and it's different forms was also a joy to read.
The downside for me is that it was a little too long and feels like it needs another edit. I had the same thoughts with the first book. A few times I felt myself starting to skim read as it was pages and pages of either a character describing a history of something or lots of political talk. I appreciate the depth but sometimes it was too much. Also, the couple were apart for 48% of the book. I love the couple and want to read about them together. While I understand their separation was part of the trials the characters had to go through, it seemed to go on a little too long. None of this doesn't mean I did not enjoy the book however.
I love the world and writing and the love story is beautiful. I just feel it could have been streamlined a little.
