I liked this even better than the first one. Poor Seph went through so much and I was so relieved when he was finally rescued . Different from the first book, I did not see the big twist in this one Linda and Hastings being Seph's bio parents , which made it way more fun when it was revealed. I can't wait for the next book!

This is a companion book to The Warrior Heir. The protagonist is a new character, but all the characters from the Warrior Heir are included. Both of these books were hard for me to put down. Even though some of the magic rules didn't seem to hold true throughout, I still cared about the characters a great deal and was captured by the story.

My biggest gripe with this book was about the name of the main character. What kind of nickname is Seph?? Just call him Joseph at this point. I actually thought it was Seth for a while because I was listening to the audiobook.
The plot was fine. It was pretty entertaining and I enjoyed how the story panned out, but I felt like it was just missing something for me. Maybe it’s just that I couldn’t really connect with the characters in any way. I definitely liked Seph though, he had some good character development. I think the issue with this series is that there are SO MANY characters that none of them are super fleshed out and we don’t really go into much detail about them. I would like to learn more about Linda and Hastings’ mysterious past. There are a million books left in this series so I might just continue on, who knows.

Just as good as the first! A page turner, it kept my interest and kept me guessing!

This sequel surpasses the first book with its faster pace and immediate immersion into the established world. While a slight mid-point lull disrupts the momentum, the engaging story and likeable protagonist, Seph, make up for it. Getting to know Seph well leaves you hoping for his continued presence in the next book. Overall, this is a significant improvement, and hopefully, the series continues this upward trend.

I'm so so so sad but I couldn't bring myself to finish this. I felt no interest for the characters or the story, unfortunately. :/
