Was so excited to dive into this world but at some points, the story felt so long... So much was going on, but I appreciate that it wasn't rushed, though I wonder why certain plot points were included but not utilised later on. The ending was a bit clichéd and I can't say I am 100% satisfied with it, but overall I still enjoyed the story and the way it picked up from the first book. 

Some of my favourite quotes,

Yet if I did nothing, who would? Was it worse to be a kite with no anchor, wandering lost on the wind, or a kite that didn't dare seize the wind and never flew? One at least had a change of finding home, however slip. The other had none.
"Your heart if your home. Until you understand that, you belong nowhere."

Muito bom e fluido, e o final foi muito emocionante, gostei bastante. Só demorei pra ler por que entre a volta dela e a fugida dela é meio parado demais
