3.0

I enjoyed this slightly more than Skyward primarily due to the expansion on the worldbuilding. That's easily the best part of this series. Sanderson remains a masterful worldbuiler regardless of whatever genre he chooses to write. And a lot of the unanswered questions and mystery from the previous installment are satisfyingly answered and given more depth.

I also enjoyed this more because Spensa has matured from the first book, and there's far less to be annoyed with here (in my personal opinion).

I'm still not crazy about the series, though. But I'm curious to read the next book after the ending of this one, and the seeming consensus opinion that's it's the worst in the series. 

Edit 12/19/23: Already bumping down to 3 stars.
