I have mixed feelings about this series. One one hand, the worldbuilding and lore and Scottish-inspired culture is really interesting. Torin and Sidra are amazingly written characters and I love them with my whole heart. However, Jack and Adeira feel lacking by comparison, they feel childish, children pretending to be adults, and they don't have depth and maturity Sidra and Torin have. The entire writing of the West feels sloppy and lazy. Many of them are malicious just for the sake of it, and their motivation doesn't make any sense. This pattern reoccurs time and again. The writing often feels flat, lacking depth and being too predictable. I have no issues with predictable books, but I often struggled to care, especially when it concerned Jack and Adeira. With both books I enjoyed the middle much more than the last third. The ending in both books is disappointing and feels too "convenient". I didn't want this happy ending for the series, I wanted a more dramatic conclusion, but this "happily ever after" lacks impact. I wanted sacrifice and bittesweet, not this convenient conclusion wrapped in a little bow tie.
