Frank Muller did an incredible job narrating this audiobook! I didn't know what to expect going into this book; I didn't really enjoy the first book in the series, it was slow and not a lot happened - mostly world building. This one however was much more engaging and will make me continue the series.

This book is hard to get through because of some of the topics but it is absolutely worth it.

So I will start by saying that this book is better than its predecessor. During the Eddie arc I was really cheering for King, thinking that maybe this one wouldn’t be racist or sexist. And then we meet Detta/Odetta/Susannah. And Detta is the worst kind of stereotype. And he mentions TWICE that she sounds like a stereotype. And my question is why have her talk like that in the first place when you simply…don’t have to. But all in all, I like the mysticism. I like where this series is headed. I think it’s a really cool and fun premise. I just…wish it was less racist for the sake of being racist.

By far one of the best books I’ve ever read. The characters are incredible, the pacing is perfect, and the situations the characters are put through are extremely impactful.
