This middle book in the series has a strong theme of putting the past behind. In the overall narrative, this makes sense as it seems that much of what has been considered the “way things are” gets upended. I enjoyed finally getting to dive into the main characters’ past, but some of it seemed pretty contrived in order to put them in particular areas of importance for what would happen in the plot. This one has a strong emphasis on the political aspect of the series, which I also enjoyed.
