I dnfed it and read spoilers for the series and the story is interesting but I hated the new dual pov for a character that I knew was going to tie in but not until the end. I guessed the big plot twist and life's too short to read 17 hour audiobooks that didn't capture me like the first one
Was bored with it. Enjoyed the first one just enough to want to know what happens in the second, but couldn't get past the first 100 pages. Reshaye was my favourite I think, and the spoilers tell of a good plot overall. But whatever it was, I just couldn't get through it.
6 FUCKING STARS.
I can't do anything right now but scream. You want a review?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
That is your review. I need to delve into book 3 NOW, but then it'll be over and what will I do with my life? My life has forever been divided into life before War of Lost Hearts and life after and I don't know what I'll do once I've crossed into the “life after” era.
What a stellar example of literary evolution, meriting a well-deserved 4.5-star rating. This book stands out, particularly for the significant improvement in both prose and storytelling compared to its predecessors.
The prose in this installment is a delightful surprise. The author has refined their craft, resulting in a narrative that is both eloquent and accessible. Each sentence is meticulously crafted, balancing descriptive language with a clarity that propels the story forward. This polished writing style enhances the overall reading experience, immersing the reader in the book's vividly imagined world.
Storytelling is another area where it excels. The narrative is skillfully woven, maintaining a steady pace that keeps readers engaged from start to finish. The plot is complex yet coherent, with well-developed characters whose arcs are both believable and compelling. The author masterfully blends elements of fantasy with emotional depth, creating a story that is not only entertaining but also resonant.
This a triumph in its genre. The book's improved prose and storytelling mark a significant step up, offering a deeply satisfying read for both new and returning fans. This novel is a testament to the author's growing skill and a beacon for what's possible in the realm of fantasy literature.
I enjoyed the first book and had high expectations for the sequel.
I think this book had interesting bits but it dragged for too long and I was kind of bored until 70%-80% of it. Although I suspected where the story was heading, I enjoyed the new POV and I am curious to know more of what is going to happen.
The ending was good and due to that I will continue to read the series.
