kitvaria_sarene's review against another edition
5.0
A solid and worthy conclusion to the first book on the Art of Forgetting duology!
I think I enjoyed this one even a bit more than the first. I loved to explore the new setting and society! The nomad lifestyle was a great change of pace and a breath of fresh air.
I also liked that this one had a bit more "fantasy" to it, even though it's still on the low side. The bits that were worked into this new place were well handled, and I especially enjoyed that there was a bit more female characters with important roles!
There's battle and death and destruction, but there's also family, loyalties and friendships. I'm not a fan of dramatic romance, and so I absolutely enjoyed a stable relationship instead of the usual "will she, won't she" sort of drama. Here it was more about family bonds and some bromance, which I love!
Another nod for having a bi sexual man as a main character, which still isn't seen to often, and yet not having it a major plot point, but simply one characteristic of him.
All in all a joy to read!
