A review by miss_anthrope
The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco

3.0

Much better than the first book! No getting bogged down in clothes and jewellery; this book paced the action well. There were two "surprise villain" twists in the past timeline of the story - a very risky writing choice, with one seeded well (clues dropped along the way that make sense in hindsight) and one poorly (that one came out of nowhere in the bad, unhinted sort of way).

I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the third book, but it doesn't make me want to wax lyrical or anything like that. I love reading a book where necromancy is front and centre though!
