The sequel definitely ramped up the action and magic! It was no holds barred action and set pieces nearly from the get-go, and it barely stopped for a breath, even as the last twists were revealed.
And I will say the action is far more intense than I expected. It is unrelenting and ruthless, and not everyone was safe. There were a couple deaths that really upset me, and certainly held their shock value.
I loved the added fantasy elements, and did not expect them at all. They made for added danger and action, and even to the lore.
As much as I enjoyed the action, I felt it got excessive at times and I struggled to focus. There weren’t as many character moments or emotional impacts as I’d like.
Still, the final twists were shocking and thrilling, and this is definitely something fans of epic action scenes will enjoy!

4.5⭐️ all I can say is DAMN. I haven’t been so blown away by an ending in MONTHS. The finale is going to be epic.

Dalglish picks up his game and lets us in on the secrets of his world.
Like in the first book, the action scenes are fantastic, and the as yet unknown makes you want to keep reading to try to figure out what the heck is going on. (Or at least, it did for me.) Again - quick, easy, fun YA read. Go for it if that's your thing.

A decent follow-up to Skyborn. Writing good and interest maintained. Not much in character development. There was a lot of fight scenes. Too repetitious for me. Several reveals. Some expected. One star added for the cliffhanging ending. Didn't see that one.

The battles were fun, and I like how the author worked with the PoVs and their various perspectives.
However, the book's beginnings were quite drawn out and kinda boring, I didn't love all the reveals, and I'm not feeling especially generous with the stars today.
I will definitely read the last book in the series, though.
