The Bitter Twins

So I didn't totally love The Bitter Twins quite as much as I loved The Ninth Rain BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DIDN'T STILL ABSOLUTELY LIKE THIS. This book starts out slow – there's a definite build up to what comes, but still. It took a little bit for me to actually sink into this one. But that's okay, to me, anyway. I knew I loved the characters already, so I was willing to sit and wait for the story to unfold before me.

I loved the additional world-building in this book, and how we learn so so so much more about what is going on in Sarn. I do wish we had gotten more insight into Noon's personal thoughts. She felt very much like a background character for most of this book - we rarely get a look at how she's dealing with all the new developments as they occur. Instead, we have new POV characters in Aldasair and Bern which are both equally lovely!! I just wish we had gotten more from Noon as well. (Also, Tor? Just freaking talk to her, man!!!)

BUT REGARDLESS –

I really enjoyed The Bitter Twins, and I'm thoroughly thoroughly looking forward to finding out how this series wraps up in The Poison Song. I hope there is a good, happy ending or this is going to feel like I read three books for nothing. Heading right into the next book, The Poison Song!!
