This book has all the elements that made me love Map's Edge and something more as we meet the descendants of the Aldar and a different civilization.
It's fascinating to see how the different sides deal with the culture clash and how a civilization that doesn't go to war and live without exploiting the environment can be considered "primitive".
There's a lot going on in this book: plenty of action, treason, intrigues and some gore.
The characters are well developed and I think there's was an improvement as they're more nuanced.
I'm wondering what will be next and I cannot wait to read the next story.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Jo Fletcher Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
