This really felt like the middle book of a trilogy (which I assume it is) in a not-great way…
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.
