A review by ftrebelo
Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman

2.0

I really enjoyed [b:Seraphina|19549841|Seraphina (Seraphina, #1)|Rachel Hartman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1387577872s/19549841.jpg|17375239], Shadow Scale's prequel. This sequel had some good elements, particularly giving closure to Seraphina's "garden". Nonetheless, it was overlong and part of the (various and winding) plots seemed to mostly be written to please specific groups rather than move the story forward. Overall, I was fairly disappointed with this sequel - I'd recommend reading Seraphina and leaving it there.
