I got so emotionally invested!
I read a lot of great books this year, but this book may have been the one that got me the most emotionally invested. Vodvarka's biggest strength is in her characters. When they hurt, you hurt and when they are happy, you are happy.
I started out enjoying it as much as the first book and thinking "This is a pretty solid sequel to a book I enjoyed." Then a thing happened (if you've read it you know what I'm taking about) and from then on, this book blew the first one out of the water (pun intended).
I'm trying to avoid any specifics about the plot because I don't want to spoil any part of the emotional journey you will go on with this book.
The story, the characters, the action-nothing is skimped on. An amazing work from a truly talented writer.
I listened to the audiobook version and I have nothing but good things to say about the narrator. Great performance, distinct characters, high quality.
