I actually finished this earlier but was on a plane and could not post so,,,
I really liked this one, not as much as the second book, but still a lot. I liked the locked room mystery, and how every book seems to be a different mystery/thriller trop each time. I was unable to predict who it actually was, but once it was revealed it made a lot of sense and the other plot twist at the end I also wasn't expecting but wasnt so far out of left field.
I am really excited for the fourth book, I think this is the first time one book has directly led into the next. Im assuming I dont actually know what the fourth book will be about specifically.
This book also followed the theme of Ropa relying and bonding with one of her companions on this quest. In the first book it was Jomo, in the second Priya, and in this one it was Callender. Which I loved, I love watching those two interact and bond, now also with Esifander.
I do wish we would get more of Ropa's thought process and conclusions, bc at the moment we have to wait for her to say it out loud to know what she's really up to/thinking about the situation.
