The timeline in this story was easier to follow than the one in the previous volume.

However, the characters really started to get on my nerves. I feel like something they do things or change their characters for no reason. Ceychell suddenly is murderous since she was chosen as chieftan instead of being a nice and compassionate one (I know she was kind of a loner and didn't really want people to disturb her and sometimes she didn't even what to help, but from that to straight up violent and very temperamental is a long way). The relationship between her and the other mage was changing a lot, which made me question how Ceychell's perceives other people and how sane she actually is. Speaking of relationships, why is everybody obsessed with Miraden? Sure, she did some great things, but he can still make mistakes and to be honest, it feels a bit unhealthy anyway. Another thing that really got on my nerves about some characters was that they were very stubborn and filled with blind loyalty that they refused to even consider that what they know might be lies.

The adventure part was okay, it was interesting and many things happened in a lot of places. It was easier for me to get through this book compared to the first one.

In conclusion, while some aspects were better, some were worse, so this book is, for me, a 3.5/5 stars just like the first one.
