reread 2024

I enjoyed this one more than the first.
I felt for Ling greatly at the start and think his treatment shows more about the so called masters of the castes than him. The monastery is set up all around the all seeing oracle, everything she does has meaning and yet they treated her son so badly. What did they think, she didn't see what was going to happen? Then what is the whole point of her. They let the whole system down and the only one I have a smidgen of respect for is the master of flame. At least he was kind to Ling.
I liked Rion and Ling together, once they got past the distrust they were great together.

Very good

4 ⭐️

I really enjoyed this one. Long and Rion both have similar issues with people not seeing them and being mean to them, I enjoyed that they each had a different outlook on that.
I felt for Ling at the start to be so seperate from childhood was sad but he did everything he could to be seen and left when directed by the oracle. I liked their relationship.
I thought the relationship between Ling and Rion was done well and was built up throughout the book

Looking forward to the next one
