This is between pick and so-so for me, but I‘m giving it a pick because overall I enjoyed reading this book. It was nice to get to see what happened to these characters after the events of The Green Glass Sea, but some things felt a little forced and didn‘t work as well as they did in the first book.

Yay, my last #birthdaybook is here! I read The Green Glass Sea over ten years ago and absolutely loved it, so when the sequel came out, two years later, I knew I had to have it... But for one reason or another, I didn‘t actually get my hands on a copy until now. I‘ve been wanting to read this for so long, and now I finally can! I‘m so excited! 😃 ...and I‘m really hoping I haven‘t overhyped this for myself. 😅
