An amazing continuation of this story. I love the diversity and the themes that come through on a level hard to find in white washed fantasy series. 

Keera is so deeply human (while also being incredibly powerful), the romance is a strong sub-plot, the supporting characters have substance and their own stories, and the almost heist and quest part of this story was such a great read. 

I can’t wait for book 4!
