Salute the Dark by Adrian Tchaikovsky
5.0
I confirm the love for the world, the stakes, the characters and that the death(s) have actually bothered me and left a (bookish) mark.
This book does a lot with the idea of uprising and David vs Goliath. Just wonderful; so much so that this time, the read is a full 5-star read.
And then I find myself wanting to know more of certain aspects of this world: how did the mosquito-kinden become so unknown? Where are other butterfly-kinden? I want to explore the Spider kinden (and I am starting to wonder if this experience would be similar to Menzoberranzan and the spider queen, Lolth?) and I want to see more of their world! What about Cesta's kinden? This world is so vast and I am not sure we will get the right amount of information to know it all!

I genuinely love this world, the characters and their stories.
It was quite a short book but pretty brutal and key to the development of the story going forward.
I mourned in this book though. I did not expect that to be a possibility yet it was.
I am also curious about the new “power couple” with Totho being one of the members.
This book genuinely twisted the plot in a way that almost a brand new series is starting!
