5.0
Review update soon on reread in 2023

Oh well, this took a while!
Did I like this? Absolutely
Do I love the characters? YES (VARGOOOOOO)
Did it live up to the series? .... yeah?
Let's get into that.
I love this story. I think it's complicated and mystical, and that even at this point, we don't understand half of it yet.
I loved the first book, even if it took a while to understand the pace and the city and its functioning. But once that happened, I remembered sprinting through the last pages with my heart on my throat, because I just NEEDED TO KNOW what would happen next.
In the liar's knot, we have a better understanding of how Nadezra works, and it gets more centered in the development of some relationships. Things happen all the time, the story is always moving forwards.
BUT, it is true, that my heart didn't jump out of my chest on a lot of ocasions, I didn't feel the need to sprint through the pages except in about three chapters.
I think all I'm saying feels a little vague, but it's the only thing that comes to mind when I try to review this book.
I think what sums it up is, it was gooooood, but I wanted some more surprises.
(it must be noted that this could all be cynicism due to how tired I am for everything else in my life)
That said, oh gods, the characters' development.
We finally understand Vargo. Yeeeey!
Ships get to shore. Yeeeey!
Chapter 15, "The Liar's knot".... YEEEEEEEEEEEYY
That's about it.
Thank you!
