Even more wondrously complicated than the first in his Library trilogy, Lawrence‘s latest is a great read. Evar Eventari and Livira Page belong to two different species, but the love they found in the first book, brings them together again. The murderous rage and bigotry that has doomed so many through the ages continues. Is purity of thought better than compromise and questioning? I hope the answers will arrive in the next book, but perhaps not.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I didn‘t think that there would be more time loops that I didn‘t see coming, but I was wrong. The multiple timelines, evolving conflict with its factions, and mounting tension makes this book a quicker read than its predecessor. Clovis‘ character arc was superb in this book, however I‘m still mad that Livira and Evar were separated yet again five seconds after reuniting at the very end of the book *makes angry eyes at Mark Lawrence*.
Between a Pan and a So-So. The first book left me excited and curious about the next volume. But... it turned out be too slow, more focused on world-building, with nothing really happening. There are some twists, but all in all the story just didn't interest me at all. At the end I was skimming and hoping for the book to be finished soon. But as I know myself, I'm also going to read volume three. It might be better, right?

Yes! This is exactly what every fantasy book that is part of a series should have in the beginning! Now I don't have to worry about going back and rereading the first book again! Who else wishes more fantasy books had this? 🥰📚💕
1. Read and avoid responsibilities as much as possible 😜
2. Houses across from local Grammar school where I'm collecting one of my teens early.
3. South Lanarkshire in central Scotland. Damp, blustery and 6 degrees
4. Done and hoping to finish it today

After finding the first book a 4, this was a 5 for me. I just thought it explored such interesting themes. Ironically I think for a lot of ppl who thought book 1 was a 5, will find this a 4 because we spend less time with the main MC's. I understand how this would disappoint some people. I just felt like this was a book that engaged my adult brain fully which is what I had been craving in the previous book. A quality series so far.
Got my hardback copy and such a pretty blue 💙🩵
Book 2 is published today and I'm starting my pre order on #kindle now.
My hardback edition is also due to be delivered later today.
