J'ai trouvé ce second tome un peu en dessous du premier. Il y a pas mal de longueur et j'ai eu du mal à me resituer avec le début. Cela dit, c'est un univers intéressant avec des personnages passionnants. J'espère qu'il y aura un peu plus d'action avec la suite.
So good... Can't wait to read the next one. I received this from a Goodreads give away, and wow! The story is well-paced and kept me engaged from start to finish. The characters are well rounded and easy to invest in. Definitely a series I want to finish
4.5 Not quite as good as the first one, but definitely enjoyable.
I am invested in every single one of these characters. Once again, impressed with the world that Roanhorse has built. The narrators were all excellent yet again and is my favorite way to take in this world. Cannot wait for more.
Did it take me long to finish this book? Oh, yeah.
Do I know why? Oh yes.
The whole time I was afraid that Serapio (my favourite character) would die. That he wouldn't survive the second part of this trilogy. Did I try to be rational and tell myself that he is one of the main characters? Of course I did. Did it help? Of course it didn't.
It hurt me so much to see how this boy (this vessel of a God) was and became so torn. How lonely he was and how desperate and angry and .... scared.
I hated Naranpa for the fact that she would probably kill him - or her god.
Cried because gods can be so illogical and irrational, because how can light survive without darkness? Death without life?
There is and was so much hatred there, even though they need each other.
I was simply afraid.
It tore my heart to see Serapio and Xiala separated from each other and to see them longing for each other. How they ... See in each other just the persons they are. Not a Teek, not just a god vessel.
Xiala and Serapio stole my heart.
I also wish there will be more interactions between Serapio and Okoa ... Okoa has also sneaked his way into my heart. I wish he would call him brother or cousin again sometime. (Even if it's just one last time).
My heart bleeds.
I want Serapio and his third teacher to see each other; I want Balam to face consequences. I want to know more about the Teek, want to know their islands in book three; their culture.
I want so much, and in the end all I want is for Serapio to stop being lonely. Or die lonely. ...

I'm loving this series. So nice to see fantasy from a different perspective. Not white European medieval influence. I recommend it to any who love fantasy and are looking for new series. Well written and with developed characters story and world.
this was a letdown from the first book and was kind of silly but also i need to know what happens next, thanks.
Spoiler
cannot get over how dumb naranpa's brother's death was. my god was that straight out of a lifetime movie. come on girl. where black sun actually thought outside of the box with refreshing word-building, this one hit the political intrigue sauce hard and not in a very fun or interesting way. xiala could have and probably should have sat this entire book out and her only purpose was golden eagle exposition. also it felt like she just ran out of plot for okoa? he needed a final scene. whatever. I'm excited to see what happens in the next book, this one felt like a lot of set up and expanded world building for the various gods and factions. Still, such a cool world, characters, and mythology all around!
