"An excellent follow-up to the first book, so much fun!"

"like this!"
Hannah Blodget
"Upon rereading this book, I've decided to bump it up to a 3 star rating. I'm not sure why I was so hard on it. I vividly remember reading it twice in a row to try to give it another chance, but never being able to focus on it, finding it to be incredibly slow moving and boring.<br/>Maybe I'm just in a better headspace because must have tuned out and skimmed most of this book. It was like reading it for the first time during this reread, and I liked it so much better this time around. I still don't think it's the perfect sequel to live up to the first book, which I still really like, but there is a lot here to enjoy that I didn't see the first time I read it."

""No. He was not here to wreak revenge.<br/>For revenge was trifling and hollow.<br/>No. He was not here to retrieve his wife.<br/>For his wife was not a thing to be retrieved.<br/>No. He was not here to negotiate a truce.<br/>For a truce suggested he wished to compromise.<br/>The boy-king spurred his black al-Khamsa forward, its hooves kicking up a storm of dust and debris.<br/>He was here to burn something to the ground"<br/><br/>This book was wonderful from the beginning to the end just like the first book. I was going to give it 4.5 but with that shocking plot twist, I had to give it a 5. Everything about the whole series from the characters,plot and writing style was so beautiful and I'm so sad to see it end. <br/><br/>Edit: The more I thought about it today,I think it deserved a 4.5 instead of a 5 due to the fact it was still some things I feel like wasn't wrapped up.."
