I wasn't really sure of this book when I started, because of the change in location and characters from the first book, but I assumed it would all connect eventually, and I definitely love how it did! I love most of the new characters we are introduced to in this book, and I found it really interesting to see the backstory of Leck, from when he was a child and figuring out how to control everyone around him, and how he managed to appear in Monsea and become King. It would be nice to see some characters from this book appear in Bitterblue, but considering the time difference I'm not sure if we will, however the book does leave that path open, what with the characters becoming interested in checking out Monsea, in order to know if they need to protect themselves or not, and considering Leck was the first Graceling they met, I too would be worried.
