» PLOT «
Following the events of the first book, Lazlo now must choose between the love of his life, and the rest of the people of Weep. While Lazlo and Sarai attempt to overcome the fact that now, one of them is a god, and the other is a ghost, a new foe appears and threatens the godspawns and the people of Weep.

I loved the connection of
Nora and the godspawns, but I didn't like how overpowered she was
.

Another thing I noticed was the fact that so many of the things that occurred was driven by the fact that the godspawns look like their godly parents or relatives (Isagol and Sarai, Skathis and Lazlo, Nora and Kora). This isn't a good or bad thing, I just thought it was fun.

The ending was perfection. I wouldn't have wanted anything else.

» READABILITY «
This book, like [b:Strange the Dreamer|28449207|Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer, #1)|Laini Taylor|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1519915549l/28449207._SY75_.jpg|48158509], was written in two main perspectives and a few side perspectives. I preferred the perspectives from Weep, but Nora's perspective was interesting as well.

» CHARACTERS «
Like I said before, I don't like how overpowered
Nora seem to be. I know she had limits, but they were very high. She kinda reminded me of Warren from the Shatter Me series, except he wasn't taking powers, meaning others could still fight back. (I think.)


» WRITING «
I got used to the writing style, and now I really like it. It's the perfect type of writing for a fantasy book.

» OVERALL «
While I'll admit this book didn't leave me as in love with it as I was with the first book, I still loved it. The ending was wonderful, and I love that there was still
mystery and more adventure left
.
