Oh Eli you little shit. I do adore you. You are an ass. You are conceited. You are single minded in your determination to be an idiot at times. Yet I adore you. Even I can't explain it. I really thought his self centered arrogance would annoy the crap out of me yet it just Endears me. What's with that??? And poor Miranda, and the others having to deal with it! Ha! This series is so fantastic and I highly recommend it. The magic, and setting in this universe is so well thought out and fascinating. I love that everything has a spirit from the greatest winds and seas to the smallest brick and roofing tile. Plus their personalities are just as varied says any humans could be. The story and pacing are excellent and I found myself listening to the audiobook whenever I had a free moment. Same as if I had been reading the real book or on my iPad. I would have been sneaking glances at the pages any chance I got. So glad I have found this series and cannot wait to continue on! I loved the first novel in this series, and the second is at least as good.The plot is rather basic, but works. More importantly, the characters develop, as does the world- so various of the opposing trends get both more complicated and yet easier to understand. It's complicated... but that's what makes it fun.You could probably start with this novel, but you'd be missing a lot of important world-building.I am really enjoying this series a lot. I especially like that even those who end up more-or-less on the same side still have serious disagreements; I get tired of novels where all the "good guys" automatically band together- with little impetus- and with no respect to their fundamental disagreements... but neither do these novels spend all the energy on bickering. VERY nicely done!
