4.5

This is a fantastic sequel to The Final Strife; definitely no second book syndrome here! The writing is gripping and immersive. She expanded on the amazing and intricate world-building. The character development was top-notch. While the plot is phenomenal, I did feel this was slightly more focused on character development than the first book. I found the pacing a little slower and didn't find this to be as action-packed as the first book. I can't wait to see how the series wraps up.
