This seems to be a pattern emerging with my opinions of all the characters in these books. I found one of the new female characters brilliant and the other just kind of ‘meh’. Regardless, that has now been addressed, and as with the rest of the characters, it can be a little hit and miss. Additionally though, we now have another couple of main characters thrown into the mix, and by the gods, most of them are women! The fact that the first book had so many character perspectives through its course and not a one of them was female threw me a little. We still have our three main storylines occurring in parallel, and all three progress with enough pacing to keep me hooked. We re-join the story immediately following the events of Book 1, and a good thing to considering the abruptness of Book 1’s ending. Well, with Book 2 I can say that some of those points have been addressed, but at the same time this book again appears to just be missing that special something to earn it a hallowed place in my heart. Constantly it felt like it was on the cusp of greatness but lacking that little bit extra to push it over the edge. So I enjoyed Book 1 of this series but had my issues with it.
