A review by sparklefarm
The House of Sundering Flames by Aliette de Bodard

4.0

Halfway through this I thought to myself, "Well, this is my least favorite out of this series. I'll probably only rate it 3/5." And it's true, I didn't connect with the characters in the same way that I did in the first book, especially. But the story here was devastating, and the characters complex, and I did really enjoy it. I do think it is 3.5 rounded up, though, because I wasn't a huge fan of the way the central conflict was resolved.
