I hadn't been paying attention so had no idea this books had come out. This is not your usual Nora Roberts fair. Dystopian is a whole new world for her and I think the main focus is on a child not in any romance. This is darker and maybe even more graphic than anything she's done outside of the In Death series. Also, there's a ton of characters. But still all in her writing style. Still the good vs evil magic with an added element of bigoted non-magic people. Still a diverse cast of character skills. There's an attempt at cultural and racial diversity which is kinda flat. Even so all her usual elements seem bigger here. And it looks like the plot timeline is going to be much longer than her usual as well. But overall this book had me hooked in a way Nora Roberts hasn't been able to do in decades. This was a good book.
