But when we finally meet him, he just seemed like a cardboard character, nothing more than a tyrant and bully who kills for fun. We heard stories all through the first book and this one about how ruthless and despicable he was.
I was a little disappointed in Lazmet’s character. It would be so hard to have an Oracle as a mother, especially when you find out that she knew what was going to happen to him and his father and did nothing to prevent it. He struggles with his feelings for Cyra, but also for his brother, sister and mother. He goes through maybe the toughest times in this book. I love Akos, and will always have soft spot for him. Her current gift also develops into something new, which was an interesting twist. She can still be tough and ruthless when needed though. Her feelings for Akos mature, but she makes some bad decisions concerning him as well. She does make some poor choices which causes huge ripples in her world, not only for herself but for all of Shotet. She becomes a little softer in this book, in that she feels guilty about some of the things she does. I did not see that coming, although I always suspected something about Akos past that was close. Cyra and Akos’s relationship also changed and developed, especially after they learn what Akos’s mom did when they were infants. There was perhaps less action, but the characters developed and grew more in this story.
I enjoyed the first book in this series, but I think I liked this one a little bit more. The world building is also incredible, plus throw in all of the politics and you have a very interesting read. This one was long, but not because of the page length, (450), but because of how much there is going on in this book.
