I have to admit, I was hoping for more from the second in this series. Since the first book was so overwhelmed by introducing multiple POVs, I thought the second one might better be able to settle into things and offer a smoother read that wasn't so disjointed. Unfortunately, the problem was actually amped up here. This second book in the series added in yet a few more POVs that were given short sections, and expanded the lengths of the other chapters that belonged to already established characters. The effect was jarring--you'd finally be getting engaged in one of these long chapters and characters, when suddenly it would end and throw you into another character in a whole different setting, whose immediate concerns had little to do with the last few chapters, if anything. By the end of the book, I'd actually begun feeling less connected to those characters I was really engaged with in Book 1.

This book also felt like it was being held in check--unnaturally so--by the author. Some chapters clearly wanted to move into more adult territory, and were being held back by the YA classification. The multiple romance subplots were also a bit much, and although they didn't quite feel repetitive... it got close.

All told, I think there's just too much happening at once here. The series would have been better off focusing on fewer characters and allowing others to be more minor, or else offering them their own books rather than trying to push everything together to the point where nothing is quite given enough depth or attention. Unless a reader was specifically looking for historical fantasy related to Alexander the Great, at this point, I don't think I'd be able to recommend this series. ( )

Una saga fantasy eccezionale. La Herman non solo scrive una storia fantastica ed emozionante ma è in gradi di farti vedere i luoghi e sentire anche i profumi e gli odori.
Se di questa saga facessero uno sceneggiato sarebbe a livello del trono di spade. Consigliatissimo ( da leggere in ordine, questo è il terzo della saga). ( )
