In this sequel to Shadow & Bone, the
author picks up right where we left Alina and Mal, on a boat running away from
Ravka and the Darkling. It’s not long though before the Darkling catches up
with them and forces them to do his bidding. Only this time, the captain of his
hired ship has plans of his own. Not much happens in this second book of the
trilogy until the last 50 pages. It’s a lot of build-up and little action. If
you haven’t read the first in the series, this one won’t make much sense and
even if you have, you’ll have to wait until the third installment for any sort
of resolution. Loren Spector, LAPL, Memorial Branch
