4.5
I might raise this to 5 but this book does meander at times although the meandering is for the benefit of the character arcs and complexities and the characters in this series are outstanding. It’s a very slow paced book but this second installment really expands on the world and character backstories to the point that I enjoy every POV we get, even the more frustrating ones.
Graphic: Slavery
Moderate: Body horror, Child abuse, Misogyny, and Rape
