I loved this just as much as the first book! It gave me the same whimsical feelings and had the same beautiful writing too. And it had such a good conclusion. I feel like this duology has the perfect progression arc and feels very well rounded without having too much extra info that I don't need. If you like slower paced fantasy books that have beautiful prose and vivid descriptions this series is for you! I definitely plan to pick up Laini Taylor's other series as well.
