Something I loved from the 1st book was retained here: timelines & travel are realistic. All that requires work & study & the passage of time are given the proper due aka crossing a continent on foot & horseback takes weeks & months, & training is completed over years #BookSky #BookReview #ARC

I'm devastated for Atheatis & the characters I have grown to love. But glimmers of hope remain
& the pieces are all set for a wild stunning conclusion.
I am incredibly grateful for this ARC opportunity from the author as I give my candid thoughts

I pretty much agree with DJ's thoughts!

I felt the same!

I think it's really well done by her

The moral superiority complex of Maya just didn't fit well at all w/ her actions & she was not a strong FMC. I get the idea behind the story of exploring morality, but it just wasn't executed well & left me feeling kind of ick

However, the storytelling truly had me immersed and it is impressive how Rutherford tells 1000 years of history and makes it feel real and alive.

I most enjoyed the beginning of the book. I wish some more time had been spent on the Vikings coming to Ireland in the middle and less time spent on English sympathizers towards the end.

Correction: Hereford Cathedral

Also forgot to add a thanks to #BookSirens and the author for an ARC for my genuine thoughts.

I don't usually seek out horror novels, but I've been expanding my genres lately and if it's Korean or Gothic horror, I'm usually there. While it did seem to slow in points, the pacing was mostly done well.
Thanks to #NetGalley for the #ARC for my genuine opinion.

It was as if a decision hadn't quite been made and then it completely slipped through editing. It might be a small thing to some, but it kept throwing me out of the story.
