The first book in this bind-up was a 5 star for me, but the second book had a lot more info dumps and the plot of it made sense after the 90% mark. Because I felt the plot meandered, it made me lose a bit of interest and I kept putting the book down several times. But the characters were engaging enough to keep me reading. And the last 10% were satisfying enough.
Graphic: Death
Moderate: Slavery and Violence
Minor: Child death and Suicidal thoughts
