Kinslayer is the second book of this trilogy, and boy howdy do things escalate. It really starts getting dark and messed up in this book compared to Stormdancer when it comes to the Guild. Honestly, it gives me Warhammer 40k vibes at times. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the Guild was partially inspired by the Adeptus Mechanicus from 40k, it really starts going into bleak stuff. But all in all, I very much still enjoyed it.
Yukiko and Buruu's journey continues to probably still be my favorite. Many more questions open up, new secrets are revealed, and they grow all the more stronger for it. I look forward to finishing their journey (as well as this series in general) in Endsinger!
