I loved the first book, I hated this one...
Eona was a great character in the first book.
But in the second one she lies a lot and is kind of power hungry, basically she turns in a second Ido.
It's actually funny that I liked Ido here more than Eona. He has at least reasons to be this way.
But why the fuck does Eona fall in love with someone who raped here and lies as Naiso and his love interest to the emperor?!

Also plot-wise wasn't the book as much action-packed as I liked.
A lot of walking, only a bit of fighting.
I was just bored for most of the story.
There wasn't also not that much progress in worldbuilding from the first book as I liked.

Good start.
The four main characters remind me of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi... not sure yet if this is a good or bad sign.
