[going off my review from the first book]
This book is much better then the first one. one of my big grips with the first book nothing felt like had feeling. It was just a list of events with a loose connect. However this book fix that for the most part.
20% of the book has the 4.5 writing, those being in 10 page intervals the rest it I would consider 3 stars.
The book is divided into two stories one starting at the half way point.
The book has gleaming idea laying with the dry sand of the book. All the Otherworld ideas are great and the best parts of the book.
I give this a medium pace but there are parts of the book that are really fast paced. (some of the better part of the book) But this is like 30% of the book so medium pace is more accurate just know I considered putting in under fast pace.
The first story ends badly, just quick 3 page ending to a whole storyline starting in the first book. The seocnd seems to have more emontion then the first one. However the characters just feel thrown for a sad moment. (similar to the first book) To the worst offence is his daughter, she born sometime in the events of the first book to get abandoned by him. I was hoping this would happen in book for a connection to the first book. Have a little reflection for Fionn, maybe a little father daughter moment. She only exists in this book to get raped and leave.
He compains about not having any kin many times though out the book which is just a lie. When the time comes he doesn't do anything about, he sends her out to hunt with someone that hates her.
