I quite liked this book! Not quite as good as the third, (I think?) but I love the writing style. The author does these beautiful repetition phrases and says like a theory and then a story and brings it back to this big idea that I quite like.

Not as strong as the first book but still solid. The writing is beautiful in my opinion but not action packed, even in intense moments. I reckon that works turn some people off but I enjoyed it. I'm anxious to read the conclusion to this series.
