The second installment of Isandor didn’t disappoint! Again, I wish I didn’t have to put it down and I’m excited to read the third book very soon.
The characters are beautifully complex and compelling. I’m very invested in all of their fates at this point and I appreciate how even the most heinous villains have solid motivations based in their own personal histories.
