Another excellent addition to the series!
I found the tone here to be very different from the previous ones? The atmosphere was heavier in a way and it took me a little while to fully get into the story. I still very much loved how Nghi Vo developed the story and the little bits and pieces of the puzzle we got along the way.
Almost Brilliant's absence was very much felt, however, which added to the shift in tone. There were some pretty tense and mysterious things happening in the background which tied to that and it was entertaining when it all came crashing down.
The ending did feel a bit rushed, though. I expected a little more from it than what I got. Still loving this fantastic world <3
