Autumn Princess, Dragon Child by Lian Hearn
2.0
I DIDN'T LIKE THIS AS MUCH AS THE FIRST BUT...
I am hooked towards the end over where does it'll take me. This instalment feels a bit slow than the first book that I was tempted to DNF but I'm not a quitter. It also contains the wildest line like "I love her like a father and soon like a husband" (or something of the sort). Yeah, I get that it's a different time period but still.
I actually like the demon children, they have so much personality that contrasts the austerity of all the politicians in their midst. Shika from a teenager is now a grown man and maybe I just noticed his character feels dull. That face off with the uncle was unsatisfying. I mean, he got Mufasa'd by his own uncle I'd expect an epic showdown only for the uncle to die from "allergies".
Maybe I'm missing something but it also feels weird that Akihime "loves" Shika after what he did to her. Yes, he was under the influence of Prince Abott's magic but it feels weird how she's like "maybe I should've reciprocated". Is this Lian Hearn's commentary about r-word? Perhaps.
