Absolutely awesome. I really liked the first book and this one just smashed it again. The character development and story is opening up so much more and there were a bunch of moments which made me audibly (pardon the pun) say ‘holy shit’. The battles and fight scenes throughout were cool but the final battle was just so badass. It’s a really cool balance of Fantasy and scifi, I’m normally a big fantasy reader but this has a unique blend. Kinda like the first Red rising book in terms of genre but more fantasy. Anders is such a badass and I really like the voice the narrator gave to him, but then again he makes sure everyone has their own unique voices which is once again impressive as there has to be over 100. Can’t wait for more to come, awesome writing, narration is top tier. My one minor thing to say would be “stop killing off characters I like” lol but that’s the way of it and it makes the story more impactful đŸ™‚
