A review by 2treads
Last Canto of the Dead by Daniel José Older

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

I preferred book 1 a lot more. The community, history, and magic was more apparent in how it affected the lives of our characters. Here the plot is more rambly and focuses more on the coming fight. The moments between our characters seem to happen on the periphery and I wanted them more central.
