Well, we were promised a cliffhanger, and it is a beast!
There’s a lot packed into this short book: action, mystery, magic, and an array of complicated relationships. The lore feels very new and original to me, even though it is shrouded in mystery from the start, and I feel even more will be revealed in the next book.
I really liked the cast of characters, and it was interesting to see the history between them all and how that shaped their interactions today.
I will say the story gets a little confusing at times, as the characters all know a lot more about what’s happening than the reader. I’m comfortable with a bit of mystery, but there were times where I wish a little more was explained.
I’m intrigued to see how the events of this book unfold in the sequel, so I will continue to follow the series!
