Autumn Princess, Dragon Child by Lian Hearn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Read the first installment before you read this one. Think of the four book series as one continuous story that happens to be separated into separate books for ease of reading, not for division of plot or for any other reason. Where the first book introduced the reader to setting and characters, the second book continues to move the pieces into place with experiences, gains, losses, and so forth. The writing remains the same, well-written with good flow and maintenance of the various plot threads. The style fits the story. It was easy to become immersed in the read, which I found to be enjoyable, intriguing, and well constructed. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This in no way influenced my opinion.
