The walls of Ninurta keep its citizens safe.
Kai always believed the only danger to the city came from within. Now, with a rebel force threatening the fragile government, the walls have become more of a prison than ever.
To make matters worse, as Avan explores his new identity as an Infinite, Kai struggles to remind him what it means to be human. And she fears her brother, Reev, is involved with the rebels. With the two people she cares about most on opposite sides of a brewing war, Kai will do whatever it takes to bring peace. But she’s lost her power to manipulate the threads of time, and she learns that a civil war might be the beginning of something far worse that will crumble not only Ninurta’s walls but also the entire city.
In this thrilling sequel to Gates of Thread and Stone, Kai must decide how much of her humanity she’s willing to lose to protect the only family she’s ever known.
I wasn't overly impressed with the first book, but there was enough things I liked for me to enjoy it. Not so much with this book. The first 10% wasn't so bad, but I just got more and more disillusioned. I didn't like Avan anymore, the world was expanding and I wasn't that fussed on it even though I should have loved it (underground cave city!) and I just lost interest in the story. The issue I had in the first book where I didn't care overmuch about the characters became worse in this, and by 25% I had stopped caring about literally everything, reading for reading's sake. Unlike the first book, I couldn't get into this at all and I didn't enjoy it.
DNF at 41%.
