An excellent fantasy novel, I found it entertaining and engrossing and loved it.
The plot flows, the world building is excellent and I liked the cast of characters.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

A very entertaining book! I was a little confused as to the timeline of this compared to the first book -- it seems to be a prequel to the first, but it references things from it too . . . so I'm a little confused. That being said, it didn't affect my enjoyment one bit. I was a bit surprised when the book ended -- it seemed that there should have been more, but maybe that's a good thing -- I got lost in the story and lost track . . .

All in all -- worth the read.
