This is a really solidly written book. In plotting and theme and character its really strong and very well written. There was still a lot of description, but less than [b:Eon|2986865|Eon Dragoneye Reborn (Eon, #1)|Alison Goodman|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1299076175s/2986865.jpg|3017319] and I didn't skim but I also didn't always take all of the descriptions of tents and the setting in.

The characters were very good, though. Some of the major characters from the first book had less to do and a little bit I missed them. But other characters that didn't have a lot to do in the first book came to the forefront and they were really interesting. Ryko, though was still a really good character.

I liked the way the world evolved and where the plot took this story. And I liked the elements that were at play: love and power and pain and pleasure. The characters really had to question things and explore what those elements were and who they were and what they wanted. But I never felt like I really sank into all that. It was more than just acknowledged but it wasn't quite enough for me and I don't know why.

I did like the ending though. It was a really hard place to get to, but the thing that was most important to me was that even though everything changed, one of the fundamental rules of the world didn't.
