Treason actually makes me appreciate what Lichgates’s did more though because it couldn’t have worked without it. I found it much more enjoyable because the set-up is followed through with character progression, depth, and surprises in heaps.
Kara really came into her own so I’m fully enjoying her perspective now. Minus a couple moments where I wanted to smack some sense her and Breadon like a good friend would, lol.
Our couple of just friends continues exploring each other and their budding relationship. I love how these two different but compatible people are learning, sharing, and growing. With the expected bumps and bruises along the way of course.
There’s also proper court drama and intrigue, which worked so well. A few villains we’ve gotten up close and personal with have characterization beyond evil. I’m waiting to see more from The Big Bad rather than just being disappointed by a seemingly flat take over the world mastermind. Considering what their end goal is I know there’s more to the story behind it. I can’t wait to find out.
I’ve also got my own theories, of course, but that’s part of the fun.
Stars: 4. Built and expanded upon the solid beginning with curveballs thrown into the mix so as not to get bored and character progression so it’s not just the plot moving forward.
