Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was such an amazing continuation. I was worried about the many moving pieces that I wouldn't quite feel this way, but it all worked out in such a fantastic way. I was so interested in the use of the Mephi and Thrana (they're so fun), and the presence of more Algana. We have a genuinely great setup for the next book, as well. The slow-burn romance wasn't really necessary, but it worked and I didn't hate it. Although it was slow in the beginning, the pacing of this really picks up about 50% in and just gets more un-put-down-able from there. Truly fantastic.
