A much more emotionally taxing story than its counterpart, He Who Drowned the World eclipsed its predecessor in all ways. I was surprised to find myself crying, when at other parts of the story I had to force myself to continue reading.
I really appreciated the continued depth with which the author explored gender and identity in this series, as well as mental health.
This story forces you to ask yourself, “is it too late to change the fate that I chose?” And “who am I once I turn away from everything I’ve always believed?”
While not a 5⭐️ duology for me personally, I think it is worth the time.
