Thoughts:
Seeing as this is the second book in a series the reason why I even picked up this book was because I love the characters. The characters are everything to me Laia, Elias, and Halene. I feel like we got to know the characters so much more in this book. I felt like my connection with these characters just keeps getting stronger with each book and I look forward to seeing them grow in the next book.
The world again is just fantastic! The author does such a great job of making this world accessible to the reader. I love how wherever the characters are throughout the story I feel like I am with them too. I think this is just a testament to how much research and time the author spent building this world to be believable.
The plot is the only place that I really had any issues. I think that a lot happens in this book but at the same time feel like nothing really happened in this book. I feel that this book falls into the middle book syndrome that a lot of book series have. Doesn’t mean that I didn’t like the plot because I did I just wish there would have been a few more things to move the plot along because I feel like the last book of this series now has a lot of ground to cover because not a whole lot happened in this book.
The writing was phenomenal. Tahir is becoming one of my favorite authors. I love the way that she writes her characters and the way that things that don’t seem important are important. I think that in this book there are going to be things upon a reread that I will see as foreshadowing for the last book after I have read it and will probably appreciate this one even more once I have read the last book, but the writing of this series is so good.
Enjoyment wasn’t a 10 out of 10 only because I felt like the plot dragged at some points for me but other than that I loved the experience. I am excited to see what happens in the final book of this trilogy.
