I was so excited to get this book early from Netgalley! I was so hyped up for this book and it did not disappoint. Most of what I loved about the first book continues in this one. The main characters are dynamic and interesting. Not one part of it was boring. I would have loved to give it fives stars like I did the first one, but I did find some issues.
Sabudara can't speak the main characters language, then near the end of the book all of a sudden she speaks fluently, completely unexplained. If I understood the timeline right only a couple weeks have gone by. I don't think she would learn it that quickly or speak so fluently.
And did I completely misunderstand, but in the first book, Din couldn't read right? He had to sound it out and then remember the sound of what he said, right? Because that is completely gone in this book. I'm dyslexic and could really relate to that part and was sad it was missing in this book.
I even went back through the book and made sure I wasn't missing something.
Despite those discrepancies I really enjoyed this book. I loved gradually learning more about Ana. The ending was unique and unexpected!
The authors note at the end was so good.
