Unabridged Audiobook
Lead character was frustrating. Secondary characters were much more compelling but yet the author chose a lead and a perspective that was the least interesting and had the most mundane goals. I kept at it because of Ll the other ityaasari. Narrator was monotone in a way that made Seraphina sound so entitled and judgmental most of the time. First book was better.
It was a fine sequel, but the ending certainly left something to be desired.
Shadow Scale was an excellent sequel. After the first few chapters I thought there was no way Rachel Hartman could wrap up the story in this one book, but she did! Seraphina is smart and relatable heroine. Hartman wrote significant transgender and lesbian characters into the book, the nonchalant diversity was a pleasant surprise. I fell in love with the characters and the story... I wish the author would write a companion book that detailed the rest of the characters' lives! I want to know what happens! Thank you for the truly original and gripping tale!
