I don’t want to say much because this is a sequel.
I liked it well enough. The plot intrigued me—though I found it a bit unbelievable. The characters’ development annoyed me for a while, but she gave good reasoning for it later that I felt made those changes okay.
The atmosphere is great per usual and the magic system is interesting. But, overall, I wasn’t blown away. Definitely not a read it all in one night kind of book, but still pretty good.
Side note: Some of the magic system scenes were way too graphic for me, which wasn’t fun.
