This book had so much more going on than Finnikin of the Rock, and honestly I think it suffered a little for it. It was just so complex that it was hard to keep track. I missed Finnikin and Isaboe and wish there was more of a focus on them, but I also liked the  broadening of the world. Froi’s character development from the first book was incredible, and Quintana was a heartbreaking and wild character to add into the story. I’m really excited to see where this trilogy goes, since I’ve enjoyed it so much so far.
