The Fell Sword by Miles Cameron
3.0
3.0 stars. In book 2 we have slightly better world building, and selective characters had a bit more development which was great. A lot of the cast continued to be very one dimensional however. I would love to learn more about Bad Tom, Sauce, Long Paw and others beyond simple traits like 'he's an angry hillsman who likes to fight' or 'she used to be a prostitute but not anymore'.
The editing....oh lord. I roasted 'The Red Knight' for its plethora of spelling issues, grammatical errors, sudden changes of characters names... could you believe it's actually worse this time around? This has been talked about in a ton of other reviews so I won't get into the weeds, but it is really quite hilarious.
The action is awesome, and the battle scenes really are the best part of the book. It's very well described and the author makes it feel very real. The magic system, while being as soft as a teddy bear, is actually quite likeable and never felt cheap to me.
Overall I'd say it's slightly worse off than the first one. I liked it well enough but might not be too quick to recommend it.
