A Kingdom This Cursed and Empty by Stacia Stark
adventurous
emotional
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
2.5
Well, I'm not really sure what I was expecting with the sequel, but if I were to distill this book down, there was a lot of set up, but not much payoff. I don't think I care enough about the characters to continue reading the series.
