And book 2 did not disappoint!
Following Ev and Alizhan into Nalitzvah, the reader is presented with a few new secrets and a few new characters, of which Thyio immediately becomes a firm favourite. Their journey into Estva becomes intriguing and filled with foreboding, but the time spent there with the characters is an interesting one, as more secrets unravel before our eyes. It's a delight how this world is built and brought to us, I am in awe of the intricacies and details put into it. I am also in awe - and in love - with the characters, and the way they're all so unique in their personal voices. I can find myself relating to Ev at odd moments, but then to Alizhan, who sees the world so differently, and then I am Thyio for a stint, using sarcasm and humour as a shield, a defense. I found myself connecting even deeper to the characters that travelled from book 1 to book 2 and weaving a firm bond with the new ones, and that's thanks to the author's mastery in presenting readers with a tight, cohesive line of work in the way she tends to the story and the construction of these characters. It all feels so natural, they flow so easily, as does the plot. Plus, Iryiat, I still am fascinated by the woman and I need more from her That finale was like a huge slap on my face, and now I cannot wait for the final instalment of what is rapidly becoming one of my favourite fantasy trilogies!
