What a ride. I think I loved this book more than the first.
I loved this one so much. I always love when multiple-POV books from characters across the world eventually come together and storylines converge, and the first one had this but this felt much better written, better paced, and better plotted out.
There's a great theme of motherhood throughout the book and despite a number of queer relationships in the book, they're not the solitary point of the story. Everyone's storyline was multifaceted even with common themes such as Fighting The Wyrms. It was a wonderful time reading this even if it took me two whole months because Real Life. I would love to read smaller novellas that would stem from this world, even some written in between the time periods.
