Josephson also explores more of the magic and history of this land, giving the world a unique nature. Josephson brings much diversity to the story as well as action-packed sequences full of tension. Readers get to see other cultures and how Queen Razel has oppressed them. Other than that, it was a good sequel that gives the story a thoughtful action-packed ending. Between the two of them, Josephson develops the tension and dynamics of their relationship to its fullest.

The only dynamics that get flushed out are the dynamics between Ericen and Thia. As with Caylus, the dynamics between these characters leave room for development. Yes, many harbor hatred for her because of her mothers’ inaction, but the way she makes friends and breaks down those barriers verges more on the unbelievable side, too simplistic.

Some real issues are going on between them, lots of inner turmoil that changes the dynamics between these two, it would have been nice to see these developed more until this point, to see their relationship fleshed out more. These two are not so different from when they met so it comes off as underdeveloped. There is no development of their dynamic and no hint of a breakup or that turmoil of why the break-up. Josephson backed herself into a little bit of a corner here because their breakup is too clean.
