Great book

Lots of action and relationship building. The heroine is a great asset in a fight. The narrator dies the different voices extremely well.

Great story

In the second book the action really starts and the mythology starts making more sense. I love this series.

Love!!!

So on the first book I wasn’t as kind to the narrator, I felt like she was overly dramatic in her reading. This book was so much better!!!! Or maybe I just got used to her?? Lol regardless, full 5 stars for everything on book 2

Amazing!!

This sequel was amazing! I love how the mythology is playing such a big part in the story with all these powerful beings. I also love how dynamic it's grown because it shines a light on how almost human and petty these, for lack of a better word, "gods" can be for world domination.

I like Emi's feisty nature and her quick retorts, but everything seems to come almost miraculously to her. She's also on death's door a lot. Her adventures, or should I say misadventures, move the story along, but it's something that's easy to overdo and I've met my quota for it.

Shiro has his true identity revealed in this novel and it was both exciting and devastating. His story is way more tragic than was visible in the first book. At this point, he almost seems to literally have battling personalities inside his head. I'm shipping Emi and Shiro, so it's bittersweet, to say the least.

I have a few theories as to how this series will end and I'm hoping I'm wrong on everything. I've never wanted a happy ending for a pair of characters like I want a happy ending for Emi and Shiro, preferably together.

The Audio Book:

The narration was great, but I still wish Emily Woo Zeller had a larger overall range of male voices so I could tell everyone apart easier.

Good story.

Picked up Red Winternasna deal of the day book. I could not stop listening. Great story and awesome narrator.
