2023 book 229

 Glenda Larke’s Stormlord Rising

I did like this more than the first one, though there is still a lot of dark stuff (sex slavery, death, war, etc) and some of the conflicts feel manufactured. My favorite character from the first book gets a lot more time here which I liked (though unfortunately she is one of the aforementioned sex slaves), and I am still invested in the two main characters. There were some parts that just made me like cringe though, and some obvious things that take too long to be revealed. I do think the magic stuff is cool and I enjoy the politics and plotting. Onto book three. B+.
