I like this book but it did not grab my attention like the first book in the series. The plot was not strong and the setting did not wow me. But i did like the characters. ( )

Book two in my first adult re-read of my beloved Immortals series.

A few other reviews criticise the book for having Daine fend for herself for much of it, cut off from Numair and her other familiar friends. On the other hand, I kind of like the sense of solitude that permeates this book, and Daine's ability to find allies of all sorts in a strange and hostile land.

Overall an enjoyable and comforting book to return to. ( )

I look forward to when Pierce finally gets around to tell Maura's story. I'm sure it will be awesome.

Continuing my re-read of this series. I forgot how much I really loved this book, even though in my head, the first and third books stuck out the most. ( )
