Blood Of Torbatt (The Lost Faces, #2) by C.J. Merwild
4.25
I really enjoyed this sequel, and I'm super excited about the book 3, I need more. The characters, the old and the new ones didn't disappoint (for the most part), I'm always at awe with the diversity and realism the author manages to include in her books.
That being said, I really think that without Gus the book would be not even close to being as good as book 1. He really carried it, and the parts that made me feel something were those he was in. Domino, IDK. I like him, but he seemed so bland comparing to Gus. In the book 1 he was a child/teen, so his actions were explainable. But in this book he is supposed to be an adult, but he still acts like a kid. I know that part of it is his feeling of not belonging, but c'mon. And on top of that,his whole relationship with Lienn. I really want to be supportive, but the way he just one day decided o chose her and forget about Gus just doesn't sit right with me. You can love two people equally, but homie said nah. I seem to have a bit of a beef with his character.
However, despite all of that, I really enjoyed the book. The plot, the twists, Gus and all the side-characters, they're enough to keep me entertained, that's why the rating is only slightly lower than the book's 1. So I can't wait for the next one, I really want to see how the author manages to resolve all this mess, both regarding the story and the relationships. I sense drama.
