I had a hard time putting this one down.
I was so worried that after the amazingness that was One Dark Window that this book was going to fall short and thank god it was just as good as the first one.
TTC was much more of an ensemble than the first book, which honestly I loved.
There was so much mystery surrounding Elm and Ione and the entire Rowan/Yew Clans at the end of ODW, that one pov was just not enough to tie it all together. Rachel did such a phenomenal job of slow rolling the reveals in a way that felt natural to the characters.
The world building in this duology is just so rich, I'm excited to do a re-read and take a stronger look at the different Book of Alders poems throughout and how they foreshadow some important story elements.
