I honestly don’t know how to feel about this book or continuing with this series. This book provided more context for the world, but felt more scattered than the first book. There are large events and gaps of time missing that we don’t get to see on the page but are told about. This makes the plot hard for me to follow, personally. But, somehow, I’m still intrigued. This story at its root is a love story between two warriors and while I think the world is expansive and interesting, I’m starting to wonder if the reason it’s so scattered is because that’s not the point. The writing is very readable and lush, but throughout the story I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue and finish the series?? But now I think I might?? I don’t know.. this is so unique that part of me wants to see it through but I can also see myself never getting the motivation to pick up the final book. We will see.
