I remembered this book being better than book 1 but this time around I very much disagree! This book took ages to read, it was slow going the whole way and not the most interesting. I think that if you like stories with a fairy tale kind of writing then you will like this more than I did. A lot of events happen because of Idris' destiny rather than Idris's actions which kind of flattens a good chunk of any tension.
I think the best thing about this book is seeing more wellworld worldbuilding - I enjoyed how spooky it is and this is one part that I think the somewhat flowery writing style of this series really suited.
