After the epic saga that was the Sun Sword series, I appreciated that this one had a narrower focus on just the city of Averalaan and the House Terafin/Jewel and co.
I felt that Jewel grew up a ton in this book, in a way she couldn’t completely when she was more of a side character, and I really enjoyed that. All the info about the Paths was fascinating to me, the themes of leadership and power and intention were great, the cats were pretty fun, and the people in the House felt real.
It probably isn’t objectively a 5 star book - West’s writing foibles remain, along with an over abundance of old men who treat every conversation like a chess match - but I don’t even care. I could put the book down, and can’t wait to read the next one, where presumably Jewel will progress to officially taking the House.
