Not my favourite in the series but I love Manus so it’s okay.
Loved this book, even more than the first - which surprised me, because I was wondering how interesting I would find the first half of the book before finding the gem considering how much I’d enjoyed the almost-half-book-prologue of book one. This surpassed my expectations though - it was so fast paced and engaging, and I loved how all the happenings leading up to the events in the Lake of Tears were woven together to become relevant in this finale. Excellent writing.
-1 star from a full 5 for fantasy-genre-typical biological essentialism. if you can have one character summarise an entire “race” of people based on stereotypes and then have those stereotypes be true, that’s a big olde racist passive ideology you got going on there, alas.

I really liked this book. I think the first book is better than this one, but I will continue the series because I own them and I am interested in what is coming next. It was an fun and quick read. I recommend this series for so far!

Another short, fun adventure exploring the world of Delores quest with Lief, Barda and Jasmine. Though the pacing is overall good for such a short entry- some solutions just suddenly happen with little to no buildup. But a great J level read!
