As the Shadow Rises by Katy Rose Pool

adventurous challenging tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

 For me this book doesn't suffer from the "middle book in trilogy" syndrome. This book expanded on the lore that intrigued me in the first book. Again, I just didn't connect with the characters or love them enough to rate this 5 stars.
