3.5
“I cant believe how different Winter Tide and this one are. It doesn't feel like it was written by the same writer, yet the style fits so well for each one. While Winter Tide delved more into the character development and plot secondary, Deep Roots was so fast paced. It took me a minute to catch my breath because I didn't expect the pacing. Regardless, the story is still rich and descriptive and intriguing. Yes this was different and not what I expected, but I loved it all the same. Aphra's character is still a favorite, and I loved being back in her world. This series wouldn't be for everyone, but its so good.”
“Pretty good. The pacing was a little worse than the first one, but ultimately I really enjoyed it. Left me hoping for another sequel someday.”
