The Stone of Farewell is truly a second book in a four book trilogy. There is lots of setup; but with it, lots of character development and amazing worldbuilding. In particular, Simon’s growth is very raw and real. But the secondary characters are also well crafted. In particular, I am so intrigued with Cadrach. And the mystery and history of the Sithi is compelling. Osten Ard feels real and lived in. All in all, the story is great, the setup is well crafted, the stakes feel very big and the world feels more epic and grand. Yes, it could feel slow, but I loved every second of it.
