Jess C, Reviewer
I loved The Pomegranate Gate so much and was so happy to get an eARC of The Republic of Salt. Of many things, this book does not suffer from middle book syndrome, where the second book in a trilogy (etc.) is just mostly fluff filler to stretch the plot. No, this book is lush in its complex story weaving through the continued multi-perspective and real opportunities of character growth.
Another thing it does well is gentle reminders throughout this book of previous events from the first novel. It worked really well in situation rather than an info dump in chapter one.
The language in the book is well considered, neither too formal nor too informal for the time period and personalities of the characters.
I really highly rate The Republic of Salt. I love the direction the series is taking. Kaplan continues to pressure the characters to their breaking points and it makes for an unputdownable read.
Lali H, Bookseller
It's terribly unfair that I don't have book three to move on to immediately. I find this world and these characters very absorbing, and I really enjoyed the creative expansion of the worldbuilding and its rules of magic etc. Definitely a series I'll be championing in the shop
