All the Tides of Fate by Adalyn Grace

I liked this better than the previous book, but that's probably because I love a good Macguffin quest lol. I was pleased with the romantic tension we got between Amora and Bastian, even if the reason for keeping them apart was kind of stupid. I felt like it paid off for the most part.
The worst part of this book was the pacing. Not much happened for a long time, and then the culmination of the whole book's quest came through in about 30 pages. However, the ending was honestly quite emotional. I was surprised with how much I felt aboutFerrick's sacrifice I don't know whether that surprise is a good thing or a bad thing. On one hand, the author obviously made me attached to the characters, but on the other hand, I didn't realize that until the last ten pages.
Overall, it was a meh duology. Some parts were fun but it was lacking in plot cohesion, good pacing, and character development. What hints of those we did get made me long for a better book. So three stars because it wasn't bad and I wanted to finish it, but it wasn't great and I probably won't reread it.
