![]() ![]() Where the story suffers is the beginning and the end. The big mystery this time around is the power of the Northern people that created the city. ![]() ![]() ![]() His biggest adversary is the son of the ruler of the Dao who has been told all his life that he was born and raise in the city to one day lead the city in a way that no other Dao could. The story focuses on the city of councils that Kaidu’s father wants to build in order to prevent the Dao from being run out of the city like all those before them. Not a romance, but a friendship and it feels realistic and natural. The main characters of Kaidu and Rat have built a believable friendship. This volume is better than the first is a lot of ways, but then suffers from trilogy syndrome at the same time. The quote amplifies that unfortunately, which may be the reason I’m not in love with this series. What doesn’t help is that twice now the series has had a quote from an Avatar: The Last Airbender creator on it, which is exactly what this series makes me think about while reading it. I didn’t fall in love with it in the way I have with other works from Faith Erin Hicks. While I enjoyed The Nameless City, which is the overall name for this trilogy and the first volume in the series, it never grabbed me. ![]()
