After reading the first
instalment in this series I was glad I already had this book at hand to carry
on with straight away. I loved that it carried on without too much back
tracking on the previous book. I like to just get going when the book is part
of a series or trilogy. And again I enjoyed the style of writing and flow of
the story. It was so easy to get caught up in and before I knew it I had read
the book in two days.
This book has wholeheartedly
lost the majority of the lightness and it delivers you right onto the front
line, but thankfully Zuzana is still there to bring out some humour which
provides a small but welcome relief from the seriousness of the part of the
tale. But overall you feel the weight of this book (not literally, although it
is pretty hefty) and I appreciate how much more difficult it is for a writer to
portray such depth of conflict and war, it is much easier to make this happy
and shining.
I will definitely be waiting
patiently for the next book. Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it
definitely progressed to being a riveting read towards the end. I did feel it
was more of a set up to the next book. This is just my personal opinion and I
find this with many second books when they are part of a trilogy. It is the
next book I look forward to as it will round off the story and I am keen to
find out what becomes of all the characters.
As an additional thought, I
found it really difficult to go back to a paper book after reading so many on
my kindle. There is no reason I should get so annoyed at the fact I found it
difficult to read and drink my coffee at the same time. Or that I had to resort
to using a tiny book light that kept slipping as my partner want the light out
before I had finished reading.... I was worried it would slow my reading down,
but if anything I believe it made me hurry up, so I could go back to my Kindle.
