The book left a strong impression on me. I loved the happy ending, the satisfying resolution of questions from the first book, and the nonbinary representation. However, I found it difficult to follow the multiple points of view because the author didn't differentiate the voices clearly. Additionally, the plot felt overloaded with tropes, making it less believable in the context of the already fantastical world. Furthermore, the excessive fantastical descriptions made it challenging for me to visualize much of the story. I also struggled to keep track of time due to the frequent jumps in location without clear references.
