I really liked how this book focused on the lore of the world. I loved exploring the different aspects of the lore more than the interpersonal drama of Iron Flame. 

The drama in this story felt less like going over trodden grounds and actually involved new perspectives and insights to the characters that we have grown to love. I think Riddock really shined in this book and I loved the character growth that we got to see with him. Rebecca made him more than just the comedic relief character and I appreciate that.

I thought was also really fast paced book and with the island hopping it made it feel like I was flying through the story.
I loved how diverse each island was to one another and how they brought their own characterisations and culture compared to the continent. Cannot wait to see more of it and hope that the next book in the series continues to grow the world and what we know about everyone.
