This comes across better and more complex and nuanced than book 1. I like how the plot has setbacks for several protagonists because of their own choices and because of cruel circumstances (it reminds me of ASOIAF). The narrator does a good job with using northern English accents for kissing and other Taliscian characters. I winced with the Welsh accent for the hermit at the river Aan source.  I will read book three but not sure I’ll re read this soon

Unfortunately, I think this suffers from second book syndrome. I enjoyed it, but mostly because I enjoy the world that Kaner has crafted. I do like the multiple POvs I had a hard time caring about Elogast's POV that I found myself skimming them and I'm not sure WHY other than I wanted Kissen\Skedi\Inara's more since they had more going on. Since it's a trilogy, this seems really suck in the middle of trying to connect the two so not a lot "happens" since it's building the world and the characters more. And since the characters have been separated, you lose a lot of the banter and growth that came from the first book developing them as a quartet. Hopefully that is remedied in the next book.

Kissen is my favorite character of all of 2024 so far. Good job author for excellent characterization all around.

The details make sense afterwards but sometimes the extra descriptions feel too much. I believe it also feels that way because of the suspense, the thrill.

I did not expect that turn of events. I hope book 3 will be out soon!

In het kort: als 2 honden vechten om een been dan loopt de 3de er mee heen

Thema: bloedvergiet, avontuur, diversiteit in persoonlijkheid en sexualiteit, gevloek, moord, afgoderij, politieke machtsstrijd
