adventurous
dark
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
Better than the first one but most of the dialogs are still painful, the character arcs are basically non-existent.
Sometimes it is well written but 90% of the time the book is like a Z category fanfiction. I wanted to love these books because the premise is interesting, the world could be great...but there is groundwork missing, stories missing and a thorough editing is also missing.
(Also the repetitions of imagery and retellings of what has happened so far are a bit annoying.)
The duology could have been so cool... a polyamorous relationship with the god of death and a brooding lord. Count me in! I hope one day someone writes a similar story with better literary abilities.
