adventurous tense medium-paced

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

3.0

 Not as gripping as the first one, maybe because the stakes of the palace intrigue felt higher there—and the pacing was a little unbalanced. But good continuation of the worldbuilding and Theo’s character development.
