I loved the way the characters come together in this book. The world building is great. We get to see different parts of the kingdom and how they go about their days and the disruption of that. There was plenty of action and drama. Then revelation at the end! Very enjoyable..
After how amazing the first book was, how could I not dive right into the next. Taking place about 20 years later after the first, it's amazing to see how the world has changed. I love how the focus shifted to a member of the Clayr, and we get to dive into more of their history and lore, which is all too awesome. There's even more mysteries to discover and left me wanting even more, in the best way possible. It keeps the pace perfectly and hidden histories coming, which I'm always a big fan of.
