Another spectacular world building book with solid characters. More travel to distant lands, deception, old cities and how cool they are, more Fell and a twist- 1/2 Fell Raksura characters that really grow on you.

I didn't find it as engaging as a previous story before that was more personal- like when Moon was taken back to his birth court and what was going to happen!? That was really well done.

But these stories are so fully immersive, vividly descriptive and subtly funny that I want to keep reading and am enjoying every bit. I love the interaction between Stone, Moon, Chime, Jade, etc.

And we actually had a risque moment of real heat- between Moon and Chime- that took me by surprise. I think it was the hottest moment in the whole series :) and yes- it was just a moment- to all you readers of Marthas works.

One thing- reading about the Consort that was taken and forced to breed with a Progenitor, that brings me to tears every time. And to name his daughter Consolation? Really hits you. So very well done.
