Muse of Nightmares

This suffered from the typical sequel syndrome and took me forever to get through. I adored the first book but this one felt a little stretched thin and unnecessary, with nothing really happening until Nova shows up and even then, I wanted them to just get on with it. While this book does conclude some events of the first book and answers some questions, I honestly feel that the first book should have just stood on it's own, with maybe a novella or two, unless another book focused on a different set of characters in the same universe and not so much on Serai and Lazlo again. My favourite parts of the book were the ones focused on the non-“gods” and I wish Thyon's (and Ruza's, gaybaiting and all) story got a lot more time.
