I Really Enjoyed It But...

Revisado: 04-23-21

Like the first book, I found this a little info dump-y, which could partially be due to listening as an audio book instead of reading. But the development of tension via jumping back and forth in time was much better done in this one than the second and I couldn’t put it down. I am really enjoying the world building in this series as well which is one of my higher priorities for fantasy. The plot itself in combination with the world building was enough to keep me listening avidly but I do think this is a series I would benefit from reading as a hard copy so I could see the maps, read the glossary as needed, etc. But it was free on Audible and by the time I was invested enough to consider purchasing it was too late, I didn’t want to stop.

The character development was okay, I didn’t have any particular complaints. There are a lot of characters (a feature I enjoy in fantasy) so I didn’t expect them all to be fleshed out perfectly. I enjoyed the main crew quite a lot- Tea, Mykala, Fox, Khalad. My only complaint in Tea’s writing would be the way her downward spiral into the dark was written- sometimes I felt like it hadn’t been touched at for a while and then it all happened at once and she was suddenly somewhat corrupted. However, overall I think it’s a really interesting concept (along with heart glasses) so this didn’t really take away from my enjoyment.

The romance was written in a way that I would consider fairly stereotypical to a YA novel and the blind devotion of Kalen by the end of the book (previous to his resurrection, where it is to be expected) definitely flattened his character and removed quite a lot of his appeal.

I am excited to see how this series will end!
