Thank you to NetGalley and the author for giving me the opportunity to read this new version of the book.
i read dragonfall and enjoyed it so when i saw that the author was rewriting this series, i was intrigued. overall, i really enjoyed reading this book. I've never read a book with an intersex (main) character and it was interesting to read from that perspective. micah's story at the circus gets interrupted with flashbacks about his life from before he ran away from home. i liked reading about the circus and the interactions between all the performers. the love triangle between micah, aenea and drystan did feel very forced and was a weird way to tell the reader about micah's bisexuality/queerness. some of the chapters that described the circus acts were really long and slowed the story down significantly. the book also describes domestic violence, but no one seems to help the victim at all until it is revealed at the end that drystan helped her escape. i wish that had been talked about more throughout the story. the ending in general was suprisingly violent and rushed. the whole book felt like it was building up to something and then it ended so quickly.
i do want to read the sequel to know what happens.
