I guess I didn’t know what to expect, but i felt like mark lawrence broke his own fantasy rules that he established in the first book, leaving me confused some times. I liked the story but it felt sort of disconnected from the first book and probably just a set up for the finale. There was a new romance that I didn’t entirely care for, I wish it was just a passionate platonic relationship. The characters lacked their charm they originally had, especially Livira. I enjoyed the unpredictability in not knowing what to expect next. I feel like the series is being dragged on and in reality could’ve been wrapped up in one book but I still love the concept and will definitely read the third
