 Essun is settling into Castrima, but she hasn't forgotten about Nassun. Essun is working with Alabaster to try and save the world from the Fifth Season.

Nassun is working on learning to control her orogeny and magic. Nassun is making some difficult and hard to understand decisions.

The book is a pretty classic middle of a series book. There is a lot going on, but not much happening. The book is building up for book 3 and I can't wait to see the conclusion.
