Blood Of Torbatt (The Lost Faces, #2) by C.J. Merwild

3.0

Was provided with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review

'It was good to prove to them how unwise it was to bet against an angry Vestige.'

damn, those reveals at the end. i'm sorry to everyone in the book, but Gus is the most interesting character (to me obvs) we figure out a lot of new things about him and watching him grow into his own person made the whole book for me.

This sequel explores new places and we start to understand the political dynamics a bit more which in turn establishes what i believe to be the main conflict more solidly. The end also sets up some interesting things i can't wait to see explored in the next book.

The reason why i decked some stars : I understand that this book is character-driven but somehow the pace got even slower, some scenes felt repetitive and i felt myself detaching myself from Domino as his arc dragged on (though it got better towards the end).
