I really liked this book! SO much more than the first one too. I’m fact, it makes my issues with the first book so much bigger as this one is so better paced. Maybe it’s because I’m familiar with the world now and don’t have to think about things, but it does still get bogged down, especially with the numinartra and cards and things.
But still, much more likeable.
I loved the bigger presence of the Rook in this book. It was one of the things missing from the first book.
I loved Ren and Tess and Sedge.
I loved getting to know Vargo better, and Alcius was perfect.
I hope things continue in this vein and I can’t wait for the third book!
