Just like the previous book, it takes a while to get going, but definitely gets up the pace faster here. It was much more exciting and much more happening, but, again, the author drowns in long descriptions about things that aren't that important. While it is nice to read in itself and the writing style is almost poetic, it simply isn't what the story needs. Or deserves. So many questions were left unanswered. The actual bulk is under 30 pages.
The main characters found each other, but what about the world? What about the villains and their plans?
Just like in the previous book, it feels like the world is just there. Nothing important. Things are happening but the author is mostly writing about the main characters. The world-building feels very unfinished, which is a waste.
It doesn't feel like an ending. Maybe it's not the last book in the series? Maybe the author plans more? Or maybe that's his style. Leave things unanswered.
The book wasn't bad and I did like it more than the first, but it simply left me quite... empty? Unsatisfied?
