Content Warning: grief, snakes
This series, and this book especially, was an interesting premise that ended up being bogged down with overexplanation and so much filler. This book is way too long, and doesn't have the same appeal as the first book. This is almost 600 pages and it probably could have been 300, easy.
I loved the magic system, and exploring it more in this book, but I did not love the romances (and love triangle), and how long it took for anything to happen. I almost think this would have been better if each book followed a different sister rather than having both in one.
While book one had it's flaws (plot holes, length, etc.), it at least had enough of a hook to keep me interested and reading. But this was 16 hours on audiobook (8 hours for me, since I listen at double speed), and even that dragged on! I felt like this is one that could have been a standalone rather than a duology.
I'm not sure I can recommend this series as it's just too long with not enough payoff.
