For the longest time I had the same issues (if you want to call it that) as with book one: Well written, good characters, solid plot and yet something was missing. And I couldn’t really pinpoint what it was, but nonetheless the book did a thing in the second half. Especially the last 20%. Did I cry ? Maybe. Was I prepared for it? Absolutely not. I feel like what made this book slightly better was for one, I read it shortly after finishing Seven Faceless Saints, and then two, the change of scenery as we were exploring the North and Brechaat as well as the introduction of new characters, which added a lot to the dynamic of the group and the story. Roz and Damian’s thoughts and dialogues did end up often revolving around the same topic, which was understandable, but also… I feel like there was a missed opportunity to include one or two interlude-esque chapters from Chaos’ pov before, during or after Damian’s transition. I think that would have added something more dangerous (?)/mysterious(?)/tangible(?) to that transition. One might argue the ending was questionable, and I would agree to a certain extent, but my heart is pretty happy the way it is. A great sequel and ending to this duology. I’m also intrigued to read more from the author. Kinda mad that *a certain book box* didn’t do a fancy edition of this book to match their Seven Faceless Saints one…but well. Thank you Titan for providing this book for review via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
