I read a few books between City of Ruin and this, but still found it easy to pick up from where the plot ended so that wasn't an issue. My opinions on this book changed as it went on though. The start didn't feel like a novella and it was nice to see everyone figuring out how to deal with the fallout of book 2, but by the second half it definitely read as a side plot. The best way I could describe it is like a filler episode in a TV show. I spent the second half wondering what the point of it all was and it felt quite rushed at the end. I really wanted to enjoy Nephelle and Neri's story but I don't think it was given the care and development it deserved.

A few points from the first two books were nicely explained and tied up here, but the slight break from the main plot was refreshing. Regardless, I feel this was a step down from the other books so hopefully Kingdom of the Forgotten brings back that winning formula.
