First of all, this only took me so long to finish, because other things and WITMonth popped up. I was incredibly excited to get back to the world, especially the growing relationship between Lin and Jovis. It's dark and interesting, and I dig the magic, so don't think I don't like this series, even though I'm about to get distracted by other reading again, so it will be a bit before I can get to book 3.
