In the first book review, I said there were no similarities between Wheel of Time and The Licanius Trilogy. However, after reading the second book I noticed the resemblance, It’s of course not a fan fic of WoT but I noticed it in Caeden’s arc in particular, his constant battle between his past-self and present-self, similar to Rand and Lews Therin.
“The people with whom we are friends should never affect our morality; rather, our morality should affect with whom we are friends.”
The journey continues with Davian, Asha, Wirr, and Caeden, our four main characters.
My favorite character in the series is Caeden. After the surprising reveal in the first book, Caeden is trying to regain more of his memories to understand why he is who he is. Many mysteries are being revealed, and plot holes are being filled. The more we discover about Caeden, the clearer the story becomes.
Because Wirr is Gifted the Administrators do not want him to be part of their council. He struggles as a Northwarden to convince the Administration of the dangers of the Boundary, his mother in particular. Wirr also discovers his father’s journal, which answers questions about the rebellion 20 years ago.
The Elders in Tol Shen are not letting Davian and Ishelle deal with the Boundary. And Davian of course will not stand still and do nothing. While Asha is trying to find out how and where the Shadows disappeared.
I enjoyed this book cover to cover and that end adds more questions. One single flaw in the book is the characters’ development; they all have the same voice, except maybe Caeden. Honestly, this series needs to be at least five books. Three is not enough, I need more explanations, more depth, more details, and more characters. I know there is one book left. I hope it will have a satisfying conclusion though.
