How much I loved Hild to this book was a huge disappointment. The author spent a decade writing this after Hild, and I don’t think that was for the better. It seems to double down on any week points in the first book and prop them up as if strengths. The first third of the book is so devastating as to be stunning, and so much of the rest of the book feels aimless. Very little if the beauty and majesty of the first book.
