The Ivory Tomb by Melissa Caruso

3.0

---

The pacing felt a bit off and I wasn’t much of a fan of the sheer amount of zipping back and forth from place to place (the settings themselves are very interesting and worth lingering in, but alas we didn’t get much of an opportunity). However, I remain a fan of Ryx’s determination and inherent (or at least vehemently chosen) goodness being constantly at odds with her nature and the power she could wield if she chose. I was also a very big fan of the way Disaster’s memories come into play here - though I wish there were more of them and more often (break up a bit of that travel time back and forth).

Despite having the highest stakes, this story felt the least personal for Ryx, though I think that may just be because it wasn’t nearly as localized as the previous two.

Solid story and a reasonable end to the series. Can’t wait to see what Caruso writes next
