This was the best sequel I have read in a long time. Everything I remember I wasn’t too sure of in Raybearer was fixed in this. I felt satisfied with the bonding that was shown in order for Tarisai to anoint her council. If we had seen every single happening this would be longer than Les Mis, so what we did see seemed the perfect amount.
Tarisai frustrated me in this book. She’s an unreliable narrator because of her emotional turmoil, and makes some dumb decisions that she wouldn’t have if not for her being haunted by the ghost children. I still rooted for her though, and I guess that means she’s a very good character with lots of depth.
So many new characters were introduced and old ones too, and I loved them all. No one felt like a side character even if they were only there for a single page. I especially loved little Adukeh and her songs.
The only thing I could wish to be different is for there to be another book of literally just domestic bliss vibes with all the characters living happily together and nothing is wrong and nobody is sad. Yeah I definitely love this book.
