Ahhh! Another great, adventure and thrill packed book by this author. I loved the characters of Ajean and Zues the most. I loved how driven Joan was. I loved all the love in the book, from unrequited, to romamtic, familial, and friendships. Strong female characters in this book as well. I did find a few lines to pair body fat with something negative/in a negative context. Fairly subtle or maybe im "over reaching" but i swear once you start to see this trend ( in all forms of media, literature etc) it really sticks out!  Also, the scene where the rogaru has more center stage fell a little flat for me and had me a little disengaged the way it was described, reminded me of this anime or something for some reason. Anyway, that was just a slight feeling. Still overall amazing book.
