I really enjoyed this sequel. It was hard at first to remember what happened in book 2 so it took some
Time for me to catch up. But I loved the explorations of poly dynamics mixed with the growing explanation of how magic works in this world. This did feel a little like filler but in a good way. The problem set up at the end of book 1 isn’t really addressed so I hope it will be in a book 3

Would’ve been 4.75 stars if there weren’t SOOOO MANYYYYY typos. They really took me out of the story.

I like the three main characters, but this felt overall out of balance.  Moira feels like a background element despite being a main character, and there was too much attention paid to a red herring conflict to justify an entire book.  Also, I’m not sure how many more books can be squeezed out of David and Rhys being toxic
