LovedThe characters in book one I found to be just fine here though their evolution their next steps are fascinating and the connections the world Mark Lawrence is building is his most impressive yet. Seeing this greater extension this expansion upon what he's done in a previous series is absolutely astounding.
LikedI liked the characters, I liked the world, but the story itself just didn't quite hook me enough, which sucks. But, there's still enough here for me to definitely want to pick up the next book.
LikedIf you remember last year, I wasn't the biggest fan of The Girl and the Stars. I thought it was good, it just didn't have enough spice to really interest me as a reader beyond a casual liking.
