Each instalment of the Noumena series has felt fresh and different from the others - with the one key similarity being me hopefully using "series" to refer to these books, and already eager for a further follow-up. Apostles of Mercy felt even more action-packed than the previous instalments - which is quite a feat. However, this is balanced alongside brilliant character development - even from characters you would previously have thought incapable of it. In terms of newer characters, I adored Paris. It was really interesting to see Cora's mindset changing and developing, and the world itself is slowly diverging more and more into alternate history as well. Once again, I eagerly await the follow-up, and hope there is one!
