This book was definitely a bit slower and less action-packed than the first, more of a story/world/character building middle book I'd say, but definitely not in a bad way. I still loved this book and it made me adore all the characters even more.

i have mixed feelings about this. the pace was too slow for my liking. some parts were a snoozefest and it only started picking up towards the near end—which unfortunately for me, still makes me want to see how this all plays out. hopefully romy’s caster abilities will be explored more—which is what i was expecting from this sequel, but alas
