I felt like this was weak compared to The Book That Wouldn't Burn. We didn't see much of
Livira, and she didn't show the same cleverness that I loved so much in the first book
. A new romance was introduced (
Arpix and Clovis
) that I wasn't feeling. There was also a new POV character introduced, Kelcha, who was kind of boring to me. 
I felt like the character development was weak compared to the first book, and that not a lot happened plotwise. It mostly just felt like this was a setup for the finale. 

I listened to the audiobook, so sorry if I spelled any names wrong.

Frustrated with this …  while the world building is so interesting, this could have been half as long and covered the same territory. Sort of a ‘sound and  fury’ going on. 
I kept wanting to quit, but really enjoyed the first book, which I finished not long ago . I kept thinking this would be worth the effort. Not sure I’ll read the final book, as much as I rather loved Livira and Evar,
and am curious about Arpix and Clovis.
