I think this book did a better job of fleshing out the characters. I felt a lot more connected to the cast, and believed their motivations more strongly.
One thing I didn’t fully understand was how magic works, and I don’t understand it because it isn’t explained. This is a historical fantasy romance series, and while I felt the history and romance quite strongly I was missing the fantasy elements.
Even nearly ten years after publication this duology stands up quite well, and it was definitely worth the read. 4 stars.
