Same rating I gave the first one - if you really liked the first one, then you'll probably love this one too.
This story gave us a little more insight into the lore, and I think it was done well. though I'm still not a huge fan on the reliance of prophecy, because if you work it out, then it becomes too easy. I want to work for my mystery, not just solve a riddle.

Spoilers:
I guessed Alder was human straight away. He couldn't remember his life but was found with a bunch of obeah and knows the land really well? Thought it was obvious. BUT what was not obvious and was surprising is the obeah are humans?????? Thought that was a good twist. I thought Salawa's death was genuinely surprising, and I think it has kicked off a lot of drama for our characters.
