I am in completely and utter awe. I loved the first book, but this one? This is one of the best fantasy sequels I’ve read in a long time. So many sequels are slower or lack much movement because the author is setting the reader up for the third part of the saga, but this book dispels all of my prior beliefs about that. Great twists and turns, amazing character building, exciting plot, and a great overall theme. I’m so happy this book exists.
