So this isn't a book. There is no plot. Nothing happens. I didn't mind because I like all the characters, but at the same time I kept thinking "all this belongs in the first book."
My complaints regarding rehashing the same information become way more problematic in this second book. I skipped a TON of the MC's "thoughts" because she just kept summarizing the same stuff about the Rift and the shield. By the way, no matter how many times they say the Faerene told us about bug invaders and we are suuuuper lucky they saved us, I don't believe it. The plot is beyond convenient. The whole "we look like bad guys because you haven't seen the real bad guys and now you never will cause we saved you" is too much to swallow. If it's true, I'm going to need verified proof and if it's not true, the whole thing is set up in a way where I'm going to be like "duh."
I still think people should read this 2nd in the series because the 3rd is better and there is information in this book that will enrich the experience of reading the 3rd book.
This review reads like I hate this book, but that's not true. I was disappointed. By the end I was like "really, there's not going to be any inter-character conflict or any overriding large world conflict?"

It was ok, the author has put a lot of work into this story and I just couldn’t get excited about it. The world building was spot on but that was pretty much what it was, world building. Istvan uses magic to build the town of Justice and everyone pitches in to furnish and run it.
Then there is the heroine’s dilemma, what do I do? I was barely able to finish the book, I was really not interested in continuing even though this may be heading for some action. I even forgot the FMC’s name :/
