literally_laura's review against another edition
4.0
I'm giving this book 4 stars but in being VERY generous. The idea is a good one, especially considering Jorek's revelation at the end of book 2. HOWEVER... the development is lacking in every way. Main characters are barely 2 dimensional, and supporting character development is non-existent. There is more than one plot hole that could easily be fixed, and entirely to frequent use of phrases like "many months later" in places that should be filled in. All said, I feel like this is more of an outline or a first draft of a story that was written in a hurry.
Also, can I just take a minute to say that the break between books 1 & 2 is at an extremely illogical place? This could definitely be 2 novellas, but the breaking point should be in a different spot. I won't say when because that would be spoiler-y, but if you read both you'll know.
