Blood of the Mantis by Adrian Tchaikovsky
4.0
What an improvement on the last instalment!
Personally, I much prefer it when the story isn’t focused on battles, so this was my cup of tea.
In Blood of the Mantis the “world” of the series gets much wider: our characters move out of the Lowlands and Empire, and explore more of the surrounding cities and environments. Lots of sexy world building and new insect inspired peoples (yay!). I’m not sure where the overarching plot is heading at the moment, but I’m looking forward to finding out.
Also Taki and Axrad is the enemies to lovers I need in my life so fingers crossed that happens in the future ;)
