I LOVE this book. Even more than the first, which I did not think I would at first. This book took me longer to be enraptured by, but ultimately I think this fulfills and extends the potential and promise of the first book by miles.It is beautiful and vivid in its imagery. Oree, the narrator, is as complex and intriguing as Yeine was. Her love story does not at all feel like a retelling of Yeine's even though the two stories share similarities.In some ways, the politics of this book are not quite as intriguing as the first but I found the character development to be even more engaging, especially in terms of Shiny.Furthermore, the ending leaves me super excited for the third book! This author is just amazing!
Excellent. Liked it much better than the first one, and I didn't dislike the first one, so.I am so intrigued by her gods. They're both human and inhuman; they're more like monsters, or very powerful aliens, to me. I have to admit, the mythology of it doesn't resonate deeply with me, but there's still a lot here to chew over. The politics and ethics of it are where I connect, rather than the symbolic level.
I enjoyed it.
