This feels like a very different journey to Legendborn and Bloodmarked. It fleshes out things we'd already started to learn, but also introduces a number of new threads. And unlike other fantasy series I've tried (looking at you Fourth Wing!), I never got confused.

I was a bit worried that separating my favourite character team would make it less engaging. But actually it just gave everyone space to develop even more, and heightened the drama when they came back together.

There's so much revealed here, and so much still to solve, I am absolutely obsessed with this series and trying very hard not to think about how long we'll have to wait for the next one...
