This book was almost nothing like Ash, which was surprising, given that they are set in the same world, but not entirely a bad thing. I found some of the changes to the world itself slightly odd and, while I could see what Lo was going for and I, like many, have a tendency to discount the amount of change that a place goes through over the course of several centuries, it still seemed a bit much. In some ways, it might have made more sense to me to just set it in another world entirely and just let the similarities with the idea of the Huntress be.
The story itself, however, was wonderful.
