Excellent second instalment to this series! Didn’t have me quite as captured as The Fifth Season (I think having the 3 intersecting storylines made it feel faster, in comparison to 2 main stories in TOG) but I loved all of the developments and complexities of these characters. Absolutely masterful work.
