children of fallen gods was a riveting sequel. 

honestly, this series has me conflicted so far. i found both the first and second books hard to get through, and neither book grabbed my attention until the 80% mark. i think both books could be a tad bit shorter. that said, this was a major improvement compared to the first book. 

i loved aefe's character, and although i guessed who she was within her first few chapters, the big reveal still had an emotional impact. i think aefe's character was a brilliant addition to the story, and i look forward to seeing her character again in the final installment. 

i’m going to take a little break from this series and let myself process everything, and then i’ll come back and finish the last book.
