Definitely better paced than the first book, more interesting. I think it was thankfully a case of just too much world to build the first book, because the politics and love story are taking way better shape here. I’m interested in continuing the series for now for sure. I do hope we get to see a lot of more of Mak & Lyros and the other Hesperines. I’m very intrigued by these new mages and all their mystery and danger. Still going to play this series by ear for now but I’m more into it after this one. Also still can’t stand the made up body part words though - I fear there’s nothing we can do about that.
