Disappointed in the second book

Disappointed in the second book

I DNF'd this at 16% because I literally did not care about anything that happened. I already thought the ending of the first book was extremely weak and didn't make much sense with the rest of the book, but there were so many things that made even less sense at the start of this book. The writing annoyed me, especially the repetitive way of how Mortania is mentioned within Alyce's head. I swear if I have to listen to that one more time. I think the only thing that really kept me going was the narrator's voice, she's great at what does.

The fact that this book has a huge time jump of 100 years in which Alyce supposedly portrays no characteristics of her past self, the great dark mistress, ruling and killing and murdering and judging and then when we get to the story she starts feeling guilty on and off. What?! Make it make sense.
