A book about the twilight of the gods from a perspective of a grieving mother who foresaw it all...
Give this book all the stars. It's stunning, and beautiful, and sad, and made me cry a river of tears. And it will never leave my heart.

The first book was trash, but the fun kind that I actually really enjoyed. This one was pure trash with boring predictable plot and an absolute non-conflict between H & P that could've been solved in a single chapter. Finished it, though and will probably give the next book a chance, but it needs to be much better than this...
