I devoured page after page as Emilia investigated Vittoria's death and learned more about the lore. I enjoyed her and Wrath playing detectives and their banter. There were times when I got frustrated with her, like going on a dangerous quest without a weapon?! Or stepping out, and not making sure she always has a moon-blessed chalk or any form of self-defense. And speaking of frustrating, the most annoying of all, Nonna. She is the embodiment of exasperation in this book! How could you not prepare the twins for this very important event? Anyway, this book is very much a stepping stone for the next books, laying the foundation for books 2 & 3
