3.5 out of 5 stars
Sin Eater shook me from the book rut I'd been in for months. I was struggling, in particular, with Book #2s in series that could not recapture the magic of their predecessors. Although I wasn't as enthralled with this one as I was with Aching God, I still flew through it and enjoyed the ride.
Shel introduces several new characters for Auric's team and although the stakes are higher this time around, the story is not able to inject an appropriate level of urgency into the proceedings. Adventure/questing elements from the first book seem dampened this time around and the new POVs prove a bit flat.
Luckily, the worldbuilding remains strong, the writing flows nicely, and the ending is satisfying enough to leave me excited for what's to come in the third and final book in the trilogy.

Meh.
Everything good about the 1st book is here. Everything bad about the 1st book is here. You might say that this is the 1st book rewritten as the 2nd book. new quest new characters, all the same plot points.

I feel like i would like these books a lot more if there was a bit more misdirection or less foreshadowing.
