I was excited to read this book after the cliffhanger of the first one. I was disappointed how the protagonist seemed to have turned into a bratty, immature teenager compared to the intelligent and compassionate character I came to know and love in the first book.
The book was repetitive at times overexplaining goings-on that the reader was already aware of. Stating that Andarna is a teenager and thus rebellious behavior is to be expected after every other sentence she says was annoying to me.
Writting a fantasy book of this magnitude in such a short amount of time after publishing book number one is quite a feat. The book would have benefitted from more editing in my opinion. But I did like the overall storyline and intrigue and hope the author will take more time for book number three
