A review by goldsundrops
Magic Under Stone by Jaclyn Dolamore
3.0
Similar to the first book in that it builds slowly and then rushes to the finish. Unlike the first book, the rush doesn't leave you wanting for more but instead... disappointed? At some point I noticed that there weren't many pages left and thinking that we were going to get a third book because there didn't seem to be enough time to wrap everything up properly.
I do agree with the other reviewers on here that felt Nimira and Erris didn't seem to have grown much from the previous book, but I do empathise with both the characters and can see why they acted the way they did. (I'm 23 and my natural instinct when encountering any hardship is also to complain about it LMAO.)
My favourite character here would have to be Ifra though, especially loved him putting Violet in her place but I wish the ending of him having to compromise his morals wasn't just glossed over in favour of the sugary sweet reunion of our two mains.
