So fun fact, I started reading this last summer and just finished it this month 🤦 as I began reading this book I realized I had not retained enough of the first one to remember where the plot was going. So I put it to the side to try again later and then just put it off. But after a quick reread of the first I restarted this one and finished it. This one was just as fun as the first with slightly more world building and plot development (which makes sense to set up the next book). This is definitely more of a book I like on vibes not necessarily because it's super well written but I think sometimes that's what you need in a book. Plus I came back from the first one and will definitely read the next when it comes out so that has to count for something. The one thing that bugged me is the damn prophecy/riddle...like no one is getting it? But still a very fun read especially when I wasn't feeling my best!
