Finally got around to finishing this book. I loved the first one of the series but I was hesitant on reading the sequels since sequels are known to be bad in most series but I was wrong. I love how Halt in this book is becoming more “human” since in the first book he was very cold and standoffish with barely any emotion to him so that was nice. Also I love how Halt was being a little terror when Will was gone, by literally throwing people into moats which made me laugh. I also enjoyed the bits of Morgoraths perspective too, gave more insight of how his emotions are and what he sees in his perspective which was nice in my opinion though I was confused as to why he was killed so early in the series since in the first book he was made out to be this big bad villain. It also annoyed me that he was taken down by Horace which i felt was a move to make Horace’s abilities be invincible but whatever. Hopefully book 3 would be great. (

Not quite as good as the 1st one but I liked it. Really likes the ending. (

Still as good as the first book but I'm not sure if I'll continue with the series. The ending didn't leave me quite feeling like I needed to find out what happens next. (

This is my boyfriend's favourite book series that he has read several times, so I decided to give them a go to get to know him better. (
