This was a great follow up to the Lady Trent books! It was nice to get a bit of a time skip and catch up was going on in the world after the big reveal of book 5 (because what??) and I really liked Audrey, Isabella’s granddaughter (and of course, Kudshayne. And Cora was delightful, honestly).
This book stood on its own very well, not depending heavily on the earlier books and creating plenty of its own tension. (The drama with Aaron Mornette!!) It also took a lot of care to think about linguistics and translation, which I appreciated. It is an exciting audiobook since it is a mix of diary entries and letters and things like newspaper clippings: the two narrators are excellent!
