Is it a thing that your least favourite book is the second one in a trilogy? That is normally my thing, but this book was a great surprise.
I loved the descriptions of Venda and the additions to the cast of characters. The author wrote about a people and a culture that I want to visit and observe. The secondary characters were well done in this book as well. I feel like this went beyond just the YA fantasy romance tropes that were introduced in the first book and made me care more about the people. This book made me love the main characters even more and wrenched my heart more as well (in a good way...mostly).
As a warning, this book ends in a massive cliff hanger (so yay for the trilogy being finished by the time I read it - I am not sure I would have been forgiving if I had to wait long for book three). If it was the first book, I probably would have been more frustrated by that, but I feel like a lot of book twos in trilogies have cliff-hangers to keep us invested in the story.
