Reception
[edit]Criminal Element's Allison Brennan, who praised the first book in the series, called Liars' Legacy "a wild ride," stating "the second book is even better than the first."[1] Though Brennan concedes that the book may be more difficult to understand for those who didn't read Liars' Paaradox, she believes "Stevens does a good job of feeding you just enough information about what happened in book one that led them into the situation of book two."[1] Brennan's praise focuses on the in-depth character development and increased nuance in Liars' Legacy.[1]
Other reviews were less positive. Publishers Weekly called Liars' Legacy "taut and twisty" and provided a mixed review, noting that "the alternating points of view require attentive reading as the characters often switch their names, nationalities, and allegiances," and "midway, the numerous double-crosses and master disguises grow a bit tedious."[2]
Henrietta Verma, writing for Booklist, said the multifaceted can be confusing, especially for newcomers to the series, "though the back-of-the-book blurb offers a helpful overview."[3] Despite this, Verman saidwrote "Those willing to weather the intricacies of Stevens’ plotting will be rewarded with an exciting thriller with sympathetic, well-drawn characters."[3]
