We stan Breathstealer, our morally gray queen.
Big fan of this one, it has a lot of great elements to keep the reader engaged. Whether it's the intrigue and building threat of the Great Devourer, the character development of Breathstealer, the dark past of Stonehide, the great chemistry between some of the characters, it's got it all.
My main criticism really lies with the buffalo subplot: Whisper is not a very proactive or well-developed protagonist and it genuinely feels like Echo would make for a better one at times. He's just the more active player with the higher stakes in the plot here, with him being the chosen one. But instead he's just relegated to a side character in Whisper's story. Meanwhile Whisper mostly just calls out Holler and goes to look for her brother once, but doesn't do much more across these two books.
