since book 1 this series has gotten progressively more boring, i had to stop halfway through this book. everything that was exciting in the first book has already been resolved, now it’s just politics, espionage, and the two main characters moaning about their issues. like idk if the author was trying to make a statement or something about mental health, but it’s a bit too much. kal is just acting like a moody idiot, shallan is “going crazy” but not really, and both of them are being seriously annoying. i can’t see where this story is going, and i don’t really want to find out.

This is the best second book of any series i’ve ever read (listened to?). It takes the existing story to all new levels, with exciting and unpredictable twists and satisfying character development. The disparate POV’s of the first book start to come together and interact. You begin to see how the many threads of this story weave together to create a single masterpiece. Like with the first book, the last few chapters feel like the crescendo that the story has been building to- the story arcs solidify, and the stage is set for the next book. You’re left both satisfied and begging for more.
If you're tired of the sausage-fest that is mainstream fantasy, here is a series for you. Excellent and diverse cast of female characters who are actual independent players in the story. They each with their own unique personality and backstory, and are treated as equals by both the cast of characters and the writer himself. Really refreshing to see in a genre that has been so dominated by tolkien-esque elven princesses.
The narrator seems to have picked up his game as well, with a wider variety of character voices. Will have to listen to it over again, since I binged it in only a few days. Book three can’t come fast enough!

this is a YA novel, so I didn't have high expectations for the depth of the story. but this story isn't shallow, it just straight up does not make sense. i think the author was trying to be "creative" with the storyline but ended up getting too carried away in the details and forgot to make sure if it made sense as a whole.
i did like the setting and some of the characters

the story is great, super different and never boring. this book is great because it has many diverse and well written women. two of the three main pov characters are women, as well as the majority of the side characters. the author treats them with the same amount of respect as any male character. this is great, except for the fact that the narrator almost completely undoes this amazing characterization by giving all of the women the same weak breathy voice. honestly really disappointing to listen to. it’s just bad acting because he’s completely ignoring the written vocal cues. if the text says "she screamed", the narrator decides that that means she whispers it like a half asleep marilyn monroe. also, if 2/3 of the main cast are women, why not have a female voice actor?
i still enjoyed listening to this audiobook because the writing makes up for the disappointing narration. buy this book in print!

i absolutely loved this book, it’s really everything you could want out of a space story. it’s similar to The Martian, but so much more fun. the story is unique but still plausible, so it really feels immersive. this story is funny, intellectual, heartbreaking, and full of hidden discussions of the nature of life itself. the narration is amazing, complete with accents and unique voices for the characters. every part of this audiobook was great.
