I’m going to need to watch BookTube to figure out why so many people thought this book was significantly worse than the first. Though it felt like the book was never ending, there was never a dull moment. I have many many questions, but have to remember this is only part 2 of 5, things will circle back. I do believe a few scenes were extremely challenging to follow, whether that was because too many names were thrown around or there were intense fight scenes with creatures I couldn’t quite envision in locations I couldn’t comprehend, but that could absolutely be a me problem, as visualizing specifics has always been a challenge for me.
