dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

Note: I read an early, unfinished copy of this book.

An enjoyable fantasy read set in an interesting city. There were times I felt a bit in the dark or unclear at what was being insinuated, past the point of keeping a bit of mystery, and then at times a little info dumpy. I really liked the characters and the plot itself and will definitely read a sequel

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

A really enjoyable read. Paced well with interesting characters. I loved the chapters reflecting on past memories too - such a clever way to give insight into characters & relationships!

dark slow-paced

I enjoyed this but not as much as book 1. The pacing was a little slow and it didn’t flow as well as it could but it was still an entertaining read!
