Trickster's Queen by Tamora Pierce

3.0

This book has its problematic moments, but it is a big improvement over the first book in the duology. Aly has finally come into her own and has her spy networks up and running, and it is great to see her doing the kind of work she has always longed to do. Dove is amazing, and it's wonderful to see her take charge and refuse to be a figurehead. Honestly, there is so much competence on show here, it's very satisfying. Nawat is another wonderful aspect of the book. He finally gets the chance to explore his own identity apart from Aly, and it makes their relationship all the stronger.
