Loved it

Absolutely loved this book and the characters. This is another incredible story that is so rich in development, world and characters that it leaves you on the edge of the seat unable to put it down. The only bad thing is that I now have to wait for the next one.

I enjoy the world that has been built in this series.

I can admit that it still is hard to read about all the harm that was done to Psy children who were considered damaged because they showed emotion.

Both Canto and Payal were amazing characters who went through so much as children. I was happy that they found each other again and got their happy ending.

I have an idea of who the villain is and I am curious to see if I am right.

Trying to speed read through this whole series before the new book comes out. 

It was a good book. 

Didn't care about the two main characters; their backstory and Payal's trauma was presented in a way that felt relentless and forced. Also, it was a lot telling and not showing. Yes, I know — I'm reading a paranormal romance so it's gonna be a *little* dramatic. The only reason I powered through to the end is because of all the politics going on with the Psy. That stuff is interesting! I would be very into if Singh wrote the Psy-Changeling series as a sci-fi series.

After a third read of this book I'm still in love with Payal and Canto. I Will forever love this couple... Mercants are the Best <3

The best of the Psy-Changeling Trinity books to date. Singh grapples earnestly with mental illness and disability in the aftermath of the fall of Silence, which was a global eugenicist nightmare for close to a century in-world. This is the kind of book which keeps me on the hook for a series 20+ books deep at this point. 

A highly enjoyable installment. I enjoyed the romance and the world’s plot advanced in important ways as well.
