In the Hand of the Goddess by Tamora Pierce

3.0

I enjoyed this one more than the first despite the romance. It also has a perfectly decent ending. The quartet could end right here.
The opening is a bit confusing. I expected this book to pick up where the 1st left off and it doesn't. It takes some adjustment. It also skips through quite a lot of time which is a bit jarring at times though they're all transitioned better than the time jump the book starts out with.
