Blood of Two Crowns
*** 3.5 rounded up. ***
Book 2 picked up right where we left off, and kept barrelling the story forward.
I really enjoyed book 1 and was super excited to dive into book 2. I enjoyed the deeper insight and introspection we get from Nakoa, and I also loved seeing him and Malekai bond more. It was needed and I am glad they joined together to get Mariena back.
I liked the multi POV so we could learn some more of the inner workings of the characters, it was good to see their thought processes and how they were feeling.
I felt like the story was a bit chaotic, and jumped around with the flow. I think we needed a few more chapters in there or some transition information to make a flow a bit better. It was still a good read, just needed some extra editing/flow work.
The one other thing I thought was off was Ataraxus. It felt super thrown in, and while I liked the chapters with him (so steamy), I felt like it was out of left field and didn't make sense. I am sure we will get more of it in book 3, so I am excited to read it when it comes out.
I enjoyed the spice, and wished there was more but it made sense that there wasn't considering what was going on in the story.
Overall, I liked it and am looking forward to reading book 3!
