I liked this book, but I missed a lot of the characters from the previous book

A lot of unsatisfying plot lines in this one, Felisin sections are real downers, and the way things ended for the chain of dogs made me really sad 

I feel like it wasn’t even balanced by the bridge burner plot lines, because Kalam didn’t manage his mission and the others didn’t really have much agency once they got into raraku

I love mappo and Icarium, but I’ve got a bad feeling about Icarium walking around freely
