“It’s a weak and unimaginative human being who resorts to violence to get what they want.”

I've been sick so I never reviewed this; or even marked it as completed, for that matter.

To put it briefly: I really, really enjoyed this one. A bit less than book 1, but I think that was because this installment lost some of what made What the River Knows feel quite so unique. Along with a few instances of trope service 
such as how very much Whit used the phrase "my wife" throughout the book. It got irritating.


That being said though? I loved this. I love these characters and this setting and the magical artifacts. I love Isabel Ibañez' writing style and I need to pick up more of her books in the future, if they're even half as enjoyable.

Overall, I highly recommend this duology. It's very quickly become one of my favorite series, so if we usually have similar tastes, I think you'd love this. I was both satisfied and delighted by this conclusion.
