Review

One of the things I loved most about this book was the dynamic interactions between the characters. With multiple POVs, every relationship felt layered and complex, making each scene even more engaging. The story largely unfolds on the road, with plenty of "side quests" that add both depth and tension to the overall journey. I really enjoyed seeing how these detours shaped the characters and their relationships while still pushing the main storyline forward. The shifting dynamics kept me hooked, and I loved watching how the events from the first book carried over, evolving in unexpected ways.

The twists and turns from book one seamlessly carried into this sequel, keeping the momentum strong while introducing fresh challenges. It was exciting to see how the plot continued to unfold, with each decision and detour leading to even more intrigue. The mix of action, character growth, and adventure made this such a compelling read. And the best part? Book three is just a few months away—I can’t wait to see what happens next!

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to meet Mai Corland at the Barnes & Noble Fantasy Panel. It was such a treat to hear her, along with the other panelists, share their insights and discuss the inspiration behind her works.
