I really enjoyed this read. It's been a while since I have read the first two books in this series, and I think that helped my enjoyment of this book.
This book is exactly what I would think of when I think of character study books. There was also good atmospheric descriptions that kept me entertained. However, I was hoping that the character viewpoints we read would interact more with each other in the end.
We also got a bit in the prologue about this terrible event that happened in the past, but then we really minimally returned to that event, and really only saw the effects of that event on one character and her family. I feel that could have been expanded on greatly, how a trauma like that could effect everything.
