Did I love the first book? No. But did I love this one? Also no, but for some reason I finished it and have invested too much time in the series so far to not see it to the end once the final book is eventually released.
When I embarked on The Savior’s Sister, I was hoping that a more stable cast of characters, a high-stakes assassination plot line, and a fresh POV would help endear the first book to me a bit more. Instead, I was left feeling disappointed because the only characters I still liked by the end of the story were fairly minor, the major stakes for the series weren’t introduced until the very end, and there was still next to no world building.
Something I do have to say in favor of the book though is that we as readers did get to see a more in-depth look at all of the characters both old and new. While this made both Tobias and Leila a little more frustrating as characters, it gave new and better life to characters like Delphi and Raphael and Enzo, who I hope will continue to take larger roles in the next book.
