Zivan reviewed When We Were Executioners by J. M. McDermott
Review of 'When We Were Executioners' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This is definitely the second book in a trilogy, or even the second act in a play, and with the world set up in act one, and the finale saved for act three, we are pretty much just cruising along, exploring relationships but not moving the plot by much.
You could say that exploring relationships and characters is what McDermott does, and that makes him stand out. But I did wish some new factors were introduced into the world.
I've already started reading the third act [b:We Leave Together|22017905|We Leave Together (Dogsland #3)|J.M. McDermott|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1398633594l/22017905.SY75.jpg|41333500] and things have started moving again.
