This book was even worse than the first one. I was marginally hopeful that the author would have explored the world and built it up a bit better. But they didn't. It remained flat, unexplained, and unexplored. 

We got to see the main characters from the first book and they were written so differently it was hard to believe that they were even the same ones. There was no similarities. The three characters that were the focus of this book remained dull and two-dimensional. Edin, I had hopes for. There were teases in the first book that made me genuinely believe they would be fleshed out better in this book. They were not. 

I can suspend a lot of belief when I read fantasy but typically not about real world situations. The main characters has a prostetic leg and I wish that the author had done more research about the care and needs a person with a prostethis has. 

More research and better editing would have done this book wonders. I know this is a series but I'm not certain that I can keep reading the books. I have very little hope of them getting any better.
