Solid 2nd book

I’s definitely say that this book is an improvement on the first, though I will say the first 15 or so chapters were a little slow. Well, actually, most of it was a little slow until the last few chapters, at which point I did feel like the ending was rushed. The time between us finding out about Keera’s history and how the king needs to die and then the ending was very short, to the point that the consequences of it didn’t feel as dire as what it could have been had the stakes been higher for a longer portion of the book. Still not 100% sold on Riven, although we learn a little bit more about him in this book, there’s still secrets that he’s obviously keeping to himself and I still feel almost like he’s a bit of a 2D character at the moment, both of which that are making me really reluctant to like him. Bit of character development for Keera in this book, and it was nice that there wasn’t as much emphasis on the drinking in this one, though judging by the synopsis of the next, we’ll be back at it again soon unfortunately. Overall, I think it was a fine 2nd book, there’s a bit of mystery still, with a lot of questions going into the next book. I’ll be sticking around and reading the 3rd once it’s released, which I think warrants giving this 3 stars for keeping me interested enough to come back.

Narrator still isn’t the best, and I’m sure that at least 60% of my indifference towards Riven at this point is because of how the narrator talks for him? I’m tempted, at this point, to read the next in the series on my kindle than listen to the audiobook, just to see if that warms me to him at all.
