I enjoyed this story, but it definitely suffers a bit from middle book syndrome and has a lot of set up for the conclusion of the trilogy.

Fantastic! I loved the first book, but this one is even better. I really cannot wait for the final book!

Love this series. Engaging characters and a fascinating world. Another book that makes me wish I was as clever as this author in creating a universe.

This book is the sequel to the Glass Sentence. I enjoyed it as it explains what happened to Sophia's parents and introduces new elements to the plot.
It is not a pure adventure story like the first book but has adventure and political intrigue, with a murder investigation to make things difficult for our young intrepid explorers/adventurers.
It also provides a theory for what caused time to be different across different locations, the very premise for this series.
This book is not a standalone novel like the first book. The story continues in book 3.
My only complaint is Shadrach, Sophia's uncle, doesn't really have much of a role in this novel except as a plot device. Hopefully, he has a more important role in the third book.
