An incredible sequel and great close to the series. I can’t rate it 5 stars though because the beginning DRAGGED. It felt like the plot was moving at glacier-speed.
But once Three Seagrass and Mahit made it onto Wait for the Wheel, we hit the ground running. The rest was very well paced. I love Three Seagrass but at the same time she makes me want to rip my hair out.
