I love this book! It was very well written. Wayne is hilarious. I also liked at the end how lots of strings were left open leading to future books, but it was not a cliff-hanger ending. A well-written book all around.

As usually happens when I read a story set in the same world of a previous work, I found myself missing the old crew.

Wax and Wayne are fun, Marasi took some getting used to, but I like her ok. I love the exploration of twin-powered mistings and getting to see the world progress. I found the overall plot intriguing but confusing at times and Wax as a main character is less interesting when Wayne’s not around to banter with. A little more country-western than I usually like in my fantasy books but overall it’s fun and I’m ready to keep going!

 4.25 out of 5 stars

"Why is it," Marasi said angrily, "that small minded men must destroy that which they know is better, and greater than they?"

I always hear praises for Era 1 and some hesitation for Era 2 but I think this was still able to live up to the first trilogy. It was fun and as action-packed, although the mystery aspect was a bit expected and a little bit disappointing, even.

The easter eggs scattered throughout were fun though and seeing how 300 years changed one of my favorite worlds was interesting.

That said, a few things did distract me here:

1. the Marasi and Wax pairing, if the age gap wasn't pointed out at least twice, I wouldn't find it as distracting as I did (you can argue it's a custom in this era to marry someone twice your age, etc. etc.) 2. insurance fraud? Seriously?!
