It was also nice that the romance did not overshadow the rest of the plot, as these things tend to do. I really enjoyed both Caylus and Ericen as characters and was glad to see that the love triangle I saw coming didn’t happen. The romance went in the direction I was hoping it would. It is an interesting magical system and one I enjoyed learning about.Īll of the characters that we came to know in the first book are back, although some fall a little to the wayside. Res, and crow magic in general, was one of the more interesting parts of this story. There is a wonderful scene where Thia is comforting him and helping him struggle through his issues. He also has his doubts and struggles with controlling his magic. One of the other things I liked about this book was getting to know Res, the crow better. She has a lot to overcome and does a spectacular job at coming out on top. She overcomes her fears and doubts about being a leader and comes out as a strong and resilient young lady. Thia’s overall character growth continued in this book. While that story line was not as prevalent in this book, it is still there and there are times that her depression starts to overwhelm her again. One of the things I quite enjoyed in the first book was Thia and her struggles with depression.
The story is a good one and in the end I did quite enjoy reading it. But I think that was more of a reflection on me and my mood at the time. It took quite a while for me to get into it.
This book was a bit underwhelming for me at first. ARC provided by Sourcebooks via NetGalley for an honest review.
