Review
Heir of
Twisted Lies is an imperfect sequel to the Stonegate duology. While fun and
fast-paced it also felt a bit chaotic.
In this
sequel, we see Lyra, Roark, and their friends battle against the malevolent
melder Fadey. There's a few revelations, but nothing shocking or groundbreaking
here. Still, I enjoyed this end to the duology.
Lyra and
Thane see the most character development. It's interesting to see her grapple
with her darker inclinations. Thanes friendship with Roark is a highlight still
in this found family.
The pacing
felt very uneven; the first half of the book is much slower paced than the last
half, where it feels the ending is thrown at you relatively quickly. Not only
does it feel a bit rushed, but the last few chapters are utter chaos. That
being said, I really enjoyed the ending after the final battle. Everything
wraps up exceedingly well.
Problems
aside, this was still a fun romantasy. If you liked the first one you will like
this one. Nothing ground breaking or particularly memorable but it is a good
time while you're reading it.
