A review by chelyely
Lady of Istok by Isabelle Olmo
5.0
Bigger emphasis on characters
Unlike the first book in the series, this one is more character driven. The things that ultimately end up moving the plot forward are in the small details. This one is also very theatrical. There are outlandish dramatic moments. The pace of this one is also like a river that has carved its way through the mountains. There are slow moments where everything is crystal clear, and moments where the water is rushing so fast, you have to hold on, because there major twists. The first 40 to 50٪ it feels like we are leaping from big situation to big situation without much of a breather. It does flow a bit smoother and even with all that happens, it's fairly clear had you paid attention to the beginning.
Over all, I am excited for book 3.
