Victra is easily a standout - something about her haughty, better-than-you tone just works, and sheās a far better POV character to have as a grown adult than she would have been in the previous books.
The darkness is grim and the grimness is dark, but it looks like weāre seeing the end of the tunnel with this space opera of a story.

We still follow our Howlers, the republic, the rim, the Vox, and every other group queueing for control and power. Learning more secrets, and following multiple perspectives.
This is an insanely dark book, with the true depths of war. Every trigger possible is in this book, so check them of needed.
Once again I found myself tearing up, freezing in shock, standing to cheer, and filled with rage. I am so attached to these characters. The absolutely brilliant writing makes me have empathy and feel depth for even the most henous of characters. I sometimes forget they aren't real...
