I still really don’t like the characters as a whole. They still tend to be on the selfish side and it makes it hard to care about their fates as a whole. The only characters I really felt anything for are Eliot and Julia, who, while being important, aren’t our main character.
I’m surprised there was no trigger warning for sexual violence and I would have been very upset reading
Spoiler
Julia’s rape at the hands of the trickster god and the graphic depiction of violence in the sceneAll in all this is an entertaining read and I’m glad I didn’t let my feelings about the first book keep me from reading this one, even though this will likely not be high on the ‘reread’ list.

Adding a second POV character was the best decision. That half of the story was engaging and had me invested.
The writing overall was improved from the first book. There was an actual narrative to follow rather than a mishmash of events Crammed into a book.
