Look the plot of the main story is good very good actually, but it’s vastly sexualised and not it a good way. I get what the author is trying to do with the powerful women but making nearly every other woman/girl in the story be meak or just some toy to be “used” is getting sick at this point. Like there are whole pages where we basically just read about how useless women are but like it’s a fantasy novel it don’t have to be that way. Will read the next one but starting to lose hope for series

Wow! Enjoyed this better than the first one. So frustrating but soooo good because you want to find out what happens...that is the sign of a good book.

Seriously?
Really?
This is where we decided to go after The Warded Man? Why?

I know the whole book wasn't terrible, but the are-you-kidding-me relationship between

was so bad I can't even think about what parts of this book were good.
