A fun little story that if a breath of fresh air as we take a step back from the main plot and characters, with a focus on supporting characters that we haven't had the chance to spend as much time with. The story moved slower than I would have liked, and definitely left more questions than answers, but it's always fun to read about Lopen and was great to see more of his journey. Rysn definitely stole the show, and I thought (personally) that Brandon did a very good job discussing the hardships and motivations of someone with a disability such as this character. Her struggles and ability to rise above the challenges was very well-written as well as inspiring, but also not something you see very often in literature. I'm excited to see more of these characters moving forward and see how their arcs intertwine with the overarching story.
