3.5

Dance of a Burning Sea continues the tale of the Mousai, with Niya and Alos having great chemistry and banter, and the world if Aadilor being expanded.

Unfortunately, while I felt the book has a strong if a bit slow start, and a great middle, it 1) takes the main couple quite a while to like each other and 2)
the end fizzles out very anti-climatically. Like… I thought the giants would not be resolved by Alos „just leaving“ , or thought some sort of betrayal might happen in Esra…
