I was told things got intense in this book, and they really do. Holy shit. But it's really cool how the story goes in a darker direction. I can't believe I have to wait until next year for the next installment :(

LOVING the plot development we're getting here. I remain not a fan of the history dump, but I concede the information is necessary to understand the plot. And I'm delighted by the additional complication of the plot that is introduced in this book

(I'll be honest, I did not think the vampyres were going to come back after the Bandaged Man died, but I love that they have)

I felt like the first book dragged a little at times - it seemed to take a while to get going - but I did not feel that way at all for this one.

I'm also continuing to like the character development that's happening. Nice to see Yorik growing up, he needs it. The new characters we meet are also fantastic. I especially love Teek and Merien.

Very excited to see how this continues!
