Sweep of the Heart is the new installment in the fantastical world of the Innkeepers Chronicles. It was such a joy to be back with Dina and Sean! Before long, they are in a precarious situation with the fate of Gertrude Hunt on the line. Dina and Sean must work together to balance the needs of their guests with the political demands of the galaxy. However, none of their new guests are what they seem and the dangers facing them may come from inside the inn itself.

I absolutely love this series! It is action-packed, hilarious, and always manages to surprise me with a good plot twist. Ilona Andrews has such an expansive imagination, yet also keeps the intricate world-building consistent. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator (Nora Sofyan) did a great job of creating distinct voices for all the different guests. The tangled politics, new species, and tricky diplomatic situations made this book an exciting tournament adventure. For readers returning to the series, familiar characters have hidden depths that are deeply compelling. I couldn’t put Sweep of the Heart down!

I would highly recommend this series to anyone who loves sci-fi, action, and hilarious banter. While you could in theory read this book as a standalone (there is a character guide included), I would definitely recommend starting from the beginning for more context- plus it is such a delightful series. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
