Sunbringer by Hannah Kaner
2.0
I approached Sunbringer with high hopes, having thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the series. The debut was captivating, with a well-crafted world, compelling characters, and a strong narrative arc that left me eagerly anticipating the sequel. Unfortunately, this book did not live up to the standard set by its predecessor.
While the writing retains the same polished quality, the story itself feels stagnant. The initial excitement and momentum built in the first book seem to dissipate, as the sequel struggles to develop the characters further or introduce new, engaging plotlines. Instead of evolving, the characters appear stuck in familiar patterns, which made the emotional investment I had built in the first book begin to wane.
