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.

Amazingly complex book - it tied together a lot of the mysteries of the first book into a fascinating web. As with the first book, it was a bit slow to start but then got going. It made me want to keep reading it. I love a book that switches between multiple point of views. Can’t wait to read the next book!
