A good second part

The best I can say about this is that it's a strong second part of the trilogy, and it barely lets up on the action and excitement through the entire story.

I think it has potentially lost some of the intrigue of the first part, but does make up for this in other ways. There are some good new characters, although some that I wish had been featured more prominently. The main character Zoey is starting to grate on me a little with her complete lack of respect & unwillingness to listen. It's okay once or twice, but not throughout the entire book.

Still it's a good book and the final chapter ends in a bit of a cliffhanger, which of course now means I have to read the final part.

Kudos

I’ll be honest: my heart sank when I saw this book and realised there were 619 pages. By halfway through, I couldn’t believe that there were only 619 pages - I needed more!
The world building in this is immense and impressive - like Game of Thrones with more magic (I am in no way comparing storylines here!!).
I don’t know what I can say without giving too much away, so here goes. Each chapter is from a different characters viewpoint: Nahri, Ali, Darra (yes, he did ‘kind of’ die, but he’s back. Boy, is he back!), and we learn a lot more of the hatred between the Daevas and Geziris.
I honestly cannot wait for the third book to see how this will all pan out, because that ending is one heck of a cliffhanger!
