The Riven Kingdom by Karen Miller
2.0
I wasn't the biggest fan of the first book, mainly because it got a bit repetitious for my taste (especially the language). But at least it was different. I quite liked hearing the story from the antagonist's pov.
This one is just boring. 700+ pages about dynastic struggles, arguments about marriage and a whole bunch of one dimensional characters. I'll take battles over boring politics any day.
What really bugged me is how euro-centric it suddenly is. It just reads like a thinly veiled version of good white Christians and evil barbaric Muslims.
