The Crimson Fortress by Akshaya Raman

3.0

As I felt with the first one, while I like all the siblings and their POVs, I think there are TOO many POVs for this short of a book/story. Normally I'm all for a duology (MORE DUOLOGIES, PLEASE), but I think this series would have benefited from a trilogy to spread out some of the POVs and the explanation of the world. There are a lot of personal relationships and machinations with each of the 4 siblings and then with them as a unit and then the actual story plot. I did enjoy how we saw the siblings more "cohesive" this book than the first and how they learned to be a family even with all their differences.
