However i still have a problem with the main character and the way she is treated. She is the mousy literate clumsy trope main character and she has begun standing up for herself and actually doing things however almost everyone in the story walks all over her. Her parents and her fiancé make decisions for her al the time and it drives me nuts. Although maybe that’s the point. but either way it’s annoying to read. id prefer less misogyny in my fantasy novels thanks

I can't decide if the translation is better for this book than the first or if I have just gotten used to the translator's style and author's voice, but I liked this sequel better than the first. As with most fantasy books, especially those with significant world building, the sequel is less confusing as we become accustomed to the world, the magic, and their limitations. I also enjoyed seeing Ophelia use her abilities more in this book, as well as learning about the various powers of other characters and Arks.
Happy ending meter:
Moderate: Death, Suicidal thoughts, Violence, Blood, Stalking, and Murder
Minor: Kidnapping
