I enjoyed this but just not as much as the first. Not sure if it's middle book syndrome or if I just didn't care for some of the POVs

It was kind of cool to get 

Balam's pov because we learned a lot through him but I did not particularly care. I also still don't care for Narampa even though her powers are interesting.

I was expecting a huge show down between Serapio and Narampa and while I do like their reconciliation I'm disappointed that we didn't get that.

I like Xiala as a character - for the most part - but I guess I don't find her "love" for Serapio believable so the fact that that's sort of all she cared about was kind of annoying. I am interested to see what happens now that she's back on Teek.

I feel like Serapio will try to kill Okoa

I am also interested to see the reunion between Nara and Iktan

I knew that Nara's brother was going to die. There was a certain line that felt like foreshadowing either in the same chapter or the previous one and I just felt it coming.

 

I am excited to see where this series goes. I'll be waiting for the next one!
