Took me a bit to get myself back into the world and remember what happened in the first book, but things fell into place nicely given a bit of time. I remember feeling ambivalent about the end of the first book, at what Saralene and Maddileh do to survive, and it felt like this... simplified it and robbed it of some of the ambiguous darkness I actually liked. Maybe it hadn't been intended after all.
shanaqui Still, taken as a story of its own, it feels like a very classic underworld journey. Not surprising, perhaps, but enjoyable enough. Not a strong pick on my part, but it'd probably be unfair to say “so-so“ since I shushed my wife's mood-ruining piffle as I was reading the last chapters! 1w
