Conspiracy is my second favorite book in the series, and that's at least partially due to the previous book feeling so dark. I won't lie, after book 3 I seriously considered not continuing with the series, but I decided to give it at least one more chance and am so glad that I did. Conspiracy felt like a return to the hijinks we've come to expect from Amaranthe and crew. 

This was the most character development we've seen with Sicarious, ever. And it made me want more. I do have my doubts if the payoff will be worth the slow burn, but I'm invested at this point. 

I also found myself enjoying Akstyr's POV more than I thought I would. Him, in a nutshell: It was important not to let people know that what they thought mattered. That gave them too much power.
