As slow and painful the first book was to read, I truly didn't expect to prefer, let alone like the sequel. The worldbuilding was done in the first novel, so now we're focusing on character dynamics and what said characters are up to. Which is no good, most of the time.
I've come to realize, part of why it's so tiring to read this series is because we spend all of our time in Jude's head: full of anxiety, anger, fear, suspicion. It becomes a chore to see only her thoughts and noone else's, it'd be good to see events from other's perspectives. Cardan, for example, was not seen nearly enough, even though he's one of the most important and most interesting characters.
The ending to this book actually managed to surprise me a bit, I do wonder how things will play out in the last volume, we'll see.

Good ol' Spirit Lord is quite the contrarian, if I dare say so myself...not just a tyrant but a hypocrite as well!

In the first volume of a series authors always try so hard to describe and overexplain their new world and setting that I'm just left incredibly bored. Was really struggling with this one, hope to see an improvement with the next book.

Not a huge Seuss fan, it was all right

Kinda funny but also...why

So far, so good
