adventurous
dark
mysterious
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Continued the excellent world-building as more about the way orogeny (and magic) work was discovered.
I still love Alabaster and I love their relationship to eachother and I was so sad he died even though I knew it was coming I think I tried to convince myself otherwise
I think I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the first one because I missed Syenite's perspective (yes I know technically we still had it) and it also felt a bit more bleak which makes sense as the world is ending
