I enjoyed the Shades of Magic series, but liked the final book the least so I was really excited to come back to the world in the hope that this book would be better - and I wasn't disappointed!
I loved Tes and Kosika so much, their characterisations and their storylines really helped to draw me back into the world. I also really loved seeing where the original characters have ended up 7 years later, and how that time has helped them change and grow. The story and the mystery itself wasn't too complex, and didn't feel particularly sinister or pressing, but I expect that will develop more in the next book.
Overall I just really loved this book.
