THis was even better than the first one. We got more worldbuilding, more characters, the tension and yearning between Will and James was ... chef's kiss.
I can't wait to see what happens nexxt after this ending.

As for the story, in my humble opinion, this is a masterpiece. The agony of being known, the loneliness, the fear. Pre-destiny and what we do with free will. How we cast our judgement and how it shapes our lives. How we believe that Light is good and Dark is evil and how we can't see the truth even with our eyes open.
Well, shit.

I'm reading other books, but all I can think about is this one

While the first book mostly followed Will learning about who he is, this one tries to give ALL the backstory to so many characters that at times it felt in the way of the plot progressing. Will is also so useless most of the time, which is frustrating.
That said, *sigh* yes I will definitely read the third book because I am invested, and the world created (mostly the characters of the ancient world and their magic) is pretty compelling.
