Summary
This story is a fascinating one, starting off where the first one ended, minus the time jump, we get to see what the first trial is. While the trials themselves look interesting, the tribal war indications are an interesting twist. The Ashe reminds me a little bit of something that would be considered magic.
I do like how there is still a healthy competition, but yet they still have each other’s back, even at the risk of getting eliminated when presented with a more powerful enemy. I am a little disappointed that they killed a more powerful teacher of sorts at the end of this book, but everything happens for a reason.
The cover art is very well done, and once you read the story, is essentially a synopsis of what is going to happen. None the less it is eye catching and interesting!
The interior art matches the cover in detail, style and skill! As well as doing an excellent job at conveying what the characters are going through as they fight the enemies they face. Making it pleasing to the eye while following the story!
Overall seeing how the main characters progress, both in skill and in Ashe ability makes the reader want to invest in the characters, this is a good thing because it makes the readers wanting more. It will be interesting to see where this goes, and how we get to the point that is highlighted at the time jump at the end of the first book!
