This is the second book in the series and it definitely packs a gut punch or two. I had to take a few breaks while reading to consume something a bit more cheerful as it’s very dark at times, but despite the descriptions being hard to read at times, it is important to read a fantasy that doesn’t treat war like a fun game.
