I first read The Waking Land and was so-so on it. It wasn’t my absolute favorite but I really enjoyed it. BUT THIS SECOND BOOK WAS SO WORTH IT!! I’m now extremely invested in this series!
I really love that we get to see this universe through Janan’s eyes and how he’s really not as put together and grounded as he appeared in the first book. I loved seeing him be vulnerable and break down when he encountered those of his past. and I’m so glad that he and Elanna are going to be together!!!! I really love the build-up throughout their relationship and how we’ve seen them come to terms with some of their differences but push past them for each other. I really hope they do get married!!!<\spoiler> I’m so ready for book three!
