This book was so wonderfully confusing. I loved it!!
Normally I’m not a fan of switching between worlds, but the way that both worlds grew alongside each other made this journey so interesting.
The magic system was different in such a refreshing way, and even though I was able to piece together some things, overall there was still enough mystery that the ending shattered my world. I absolutely loved it!
The only reason this wasn’t rated five stars is because I think some of the pacing was off, especially in SKALTERRA. Because two worlds and casts were having to be learned at the same time it definitely got a bit hard to follow at some points, and the plots for each world were pitted against each other, especially in the beginning.
That being said, the ending of this book was wonderfully done and cleared up a lot of the confusion, or at least just affirmed what was important. I’m so excited for the next book, which, since I jumped on this pretty quickly, will sadly most likely be a while.
