So, I haven't played this game, or read the first volume of this series, and I'm not going to get mad at this volume because of that. I went in expected to be confused (which I am, a bit), but that's on me.
Aloy and Erend are tracking Korl; Erend blames Korl for the death of his sister, Ersa, and seeks revenge. As they hunt, Aloy asks Erend to tell her the story of what happened to Ersa, and that is the main part of this book, in between fighting off machines and such. We get an exciting story full of intrigue, betrayal, and hard-won wisdom, but this will mean a lot more to someone that's played the game than someone like me who hasn't. The story is self-contained if you are familiar with what came before it (and honestly, I got most of what was going on, I just missed out on the back story), no cliffhanger ending, and the art was quite nice.
