Page 290ish City of Night spoilers...
Man, these simple words hit me so hard...
Reading up to that point was edge of the seat stuff as you knew shit was about to go down...
Yep...and funnily enough this is where you reap the smaller benefits from not having read the Sun Sword books first....
Aye, agreed I can see that for sure. I loved the slow build up of the world and characters in the first book knowing nothing going in. No idea of who would make it through to later books...
With the second book, after the start and introduction to new characters I was expecting a similar build up and flow of the story...
But... damn, half way through and this book has certainly ramped up a pace not seen before.
City of Night spoilers:
I really appreciate West's writing in that she let's her story flow with no breakup, meaning that most authors would get to a key bit of tension and then jump to a new POV to keep you hanging... here you get to what is a key bit and she just keeps going with it.
Or that is how it is in these two books so far.
