I found this second book weaker compared to the first, but a bit more clear. Still a lovely world, and solid story telling.

A violent, emotional upheaval that grabs you and shakes you.
As a newer fantasy reader and having gone from Tolkien to this, I can appreciate both sides immensely.

Theres just so much I've forgotten. I'm having a great time rereading and rediscovering
The friendships in this book are immaculate and I wish friendships like this were in more books.
I'm really hoping Veradis either changes sides or helps Nathair realize what's going on. And I knew I was right to not trust the Vin Thalun.
The last 200 pages was such a rollercoaster and the ending made me sob.
